Detailed Solution

Given,
Temperature increases =

40 %

.
Pressure increases =

40 %

(By the question)
Let pressure is 100. Then,
New pressure:

= 100 + \frac{100 \times 40}{100}

= 140

When,
Volume decreases with

20 %

then,
Pressure increases with

20 %

(Inversely proportional)
So, new pressure,

= \frac{140}{\frac{100 - 20}{100}}

= \frac{140 \times 100}{80}

= 175

So, % pressure increased,

175 - 100 = 75 %

Hence, option 1 is correct.
