Detailed Solution

(i) the dotted line in the diagram shows that there is no deviation in the value of PVnT for different temperature T1 and T2 for increasing pressure, so this gas behaves ideally. Hence, dotted line corresponds to ‘real’ gas behavior.
(ii) We know at high temperature, the deviation of the gas is less and at low temperature the deviation of gas is more. In the graph, deviation for T2 is greater than for T1. Thus, T1 > T2
