Detailed Solution

PV = nRT

$\therefore \frac{{PV}}{{nT}} = R$

For ideal gas, R is constant which is represented by dotted line.

At high temperature and low pressure, a real gas behaves like an ideal gas. So as temperature T increases and pressure decreases the graph of PV/T versus P approaches the dotted line. Hence T₁ > T₂.
