$A$ long cylindrical pipe of radius $20 \,cm$ is closed at its upper end and has an airtight piston of negligible mass as shown. When a $50 \,kg$ mass is attached to the piston,it moves down. If the air in the enclosure is cooled from temperature $T$ to $T-\Delta T$,the piston moves back to its original position. Then $\Delta T / T$ is close to (Assuming air to be an ideal gas,$g=10 \,m/s^2$,atmospheric pressure is $10^5 \,Pa$)

The expansion of an ideal gas of mass $m$ at a constant pressure $P$ is given by the straight line $D$. Then the expansion of the same ideal gas of mass $2m$ at a pressure $P/2$ is given by the straight line
