An ideal gas in a closed container is slowly heated. As its temperature increases, which of the following statements are true?
(a) the mean free path of the molecules decreases
(b) the mean collision time between the molecules decreases.
(c) the mean free path remains unchanged.
(d) the mean collision time remains unchanged.

(b) the mean collision time between the molecules decreases.
(c) the mean free path remains unchanged.
(d) the mean collision time remains unchanged.
On increasing the temperature, random velocity of molecules increases, therefore mean collision time between the molecules decreases. But the mean free path remains constant as it is product of velocity and time.? (b) and (c) are correct.
