Three separate reversible processes are carried out with mole of an ideal gas initially at STP. In these processes, the pressure () is measured while increasing any one of the quantities volume (), temperature () and number of moles , keeping the other two constant. Plots of versus are found to be linear, where or or . For the processes and , the numerical values of the slopes and of the versus plots are found to follow the order , respectively. The correct statement(s) about these processes is/are
