Three separate reversible processes 1,2 and 3 are carried out with 1 mole of an ideal gas initially at STP. In these processes, the pressure (P) is measured while increasing any one of the quantities volume (V), temperature (T) and number of moles n, keeping the other two constant. Plots of Patm versus X are found to be linear, where X=n or TK or 1/V lit-1. For the processes 1,2 and 3, the numerical values of the slopes m1,m2 and m3 of the P versus X plots are found to follow the order m1>m2>m3, respectively. The correct statement(s) about these processes is/are
