Specific Heats of Gases - Cp, Cv, γ & Mayer's Relation

For a gas, $\frac{R}{C_v} = 0.4$ where R is the universal gas constant and $C_v$ is the molar specific heat at constant volume. The gas is made up of molecules which are

Show answer and solution

Answer: (d)

$C_v = \frac{R}{0.4} = \frac{5}{2}R$
$\frac{f}{2} = \frac{5}{2} \Rightarrow f = 5$
So the answer is (d) rigid diatomic.
