In any spontaneous process,

A. Only F decreases

B. Only A decreases

C. Both F and A decreases

D. Both F and A increase

Answer: Option C

Solution(By Examveda Team)

For any spontaneous process there should be finite changes so, we can consider it as an irreversible process and we know for irreversible process from second law of thermodynamics $$TdS - dU - PdV > 0$$
Under constant temperature and volume process $$ - dF > 0 \Rightarrow dF < 0$$
Similarly for an constant temperature and pressure process
$$\eqalign{ & d\left( {TS - U - PV} \right) > 0 \cr & \Rightarrow dG = 0 \cr} $$
