The molar specific heats of an ideal gas at constant pressure and volume are denoted by $C_{P}$ and $C_{V}$ respectively. If $\gamma = \frac{C_{P}}{C_{V}}$ and $R$ is the universal gas constant,then $C_{V}$ is equal to

  • A
    $\frac{R}{\gamma - 1}$
  • B
    $\frac{\gamma - 1}{R}$
  • C
    $\gamma R$
  • D
    $\frac{\gamma + 1}{\gamma - 1}$
