Weight of empty LPG cylinder = 14.8 kg
Weight of full LPG cylinder = 29 kg
∴ Weight of gas = 29 − 14.8 = 14.2 kg
If weight of full LPG cylinder = 23 kg
then weight of gas used = 29 − 23 = 6 kg at ambient temperature.
From ideal gas equaiton, pV = nRT

×RT or
pV=×RT Applying ideal gas to LPG cylinder when gas is full,
pV=nRT 3.47atm×V=×RT ...(i)
Applying ideal gas to LPG cylinder when gas is reduced to 23 kg at ambient temperature,
pV=nRT p×V=×RT ...(ii)
Divide Eq. (i) by (ii)
= = ⇒
p==2.003atm Hence, answer is 2.
