10. When air is filled in the balloon, the pressure and volume both increases while temperature does not change. Here Boyle's law is not obeyed because
a) Mass of air is negligible
b) Mass of air does not remain constant
c) Air is not perfect gas
d) Pressure inside the balloon is less than that of the atmospheric pressure

Answer: b
Explanation: When air is filled in the balloon, the pressure and volume both increases while temperature does not change. Here Boyle's law is not obeyed because mass of air does not remain constant
