ANSWER
Boyle's law can be stated as, for a given mass of a gas the product of pressure and volume is always constant at constant temperature.
If P
1
,P
2
,P

are pressures of a gas in states 1,2,3,4 and corresponding volumes are V

at constant temperature, then according to Boyle's law, P

⟶ 100×80=125×x
∴x=
125
100×80
=64
ii) P

⟶ 100×80=y×32
∴y=
32
100×80
=250
