Detailed Solution

Slope of adiabatic curve ∝ γ ∝ 1 Atomicity of the gas

So, γ is inversely proportional to atomicity of the gas. [As γ = 1.66 for monoatomic gas, γ = 1.4 for diatomic gas and γ = 1.33 for triatomic non-linear gas.] From the graph it is clear that slope of the curve 1 is less so this should be adiabatic curve for diatomic gas (i.e. O2). Similarly slope of the curve 2 is more so it should be adiabatic curve for monoatomic gas (i.e. He).
