If for hydrogen $C_{p} - C_{v} = m$ and for the nitrogen $C_{p} - C_{v} = n$, where $C_{p},\ C_{v}$ refer to specific heats per unit mass respectively at constant pressure and constant volume, the relation between $m$ and $n$ is

(a) Here, for hydrogen $C_{p} - C_{v} = m = \frac{R}{2}$
Or $R = 2m$
And for nitrogen, $C_{p} - C_{v} = n = \frac{R}{28}$ or $R = 28\ n$
$	herefore\ 2m = 28n$
$m = 14n$
