According to boyle's modern law;"the absolute pressure exerted by a given mass of an ideal gas is inversely proportional 2 d vol it occupies if d temp & amount of gas remain unchanged within a closed system." mathematically; PV =K therefore, P1V1=P2V2. Boyle's law is a gas law stating that the pressure & vol of a gas have an inverse relationship.therefore; if vol decreases,then pressure increases & vice-versa; when temp is held constant.....

Yes its correct
Pressure is inversly proportional to volume
Therefore as pressure increases volume decreases nd vice versa

Mathematically;
P1V1 = 2P1V2 (If the pressure is doubled for instance )
V2 = V1P1/2P1
V2 = V1/2
indeed the volume will be reduced

simple explanation is DAT increase in pressure favours the side of the lesser volume..... which means increase in pressure will leads to low volume

considering Boyles law, the answer shud b D becos pressure is directly proportional to volume at constant temperature
