Correct Answer - Option 4 : 100%
Concept:
Relative humidity is given by
\(ϕ = \frac{{{P_v}}}{{{P_{vs}}}}\)
where P v is pressure of water vapour and Pvs is pressure of water vapour at saturation point.
For isothermal process:
PV = constant
Calculation:
Given:
ϕ1 = 50%, Pv1
Since volume is reduced to half so the pressure has become twice.
Pv2 = 2Pv1
\(\frac{{{ϕ _2}}}{{{ϕ _1}}} = \frac{{{P_{{v_2}}}}}{{{P_{v1\;}}}}\)
\(\frac{{{ϕ _2}}}{{{ϕ _1}}} = 2\)
ϕ2 = 2ϕ1
ϕ2 = 2 × 50 ⇒ 100%.
