Molecules of an ideal gas are known to have three translational degrees of freedom and two rotational degrees of freedom. The gas is maintained at a temperature of \(T.\) The total internal energy, \(U\) of a mole of this gas, and the value of \(\gamma~\left(=\dfrac{C_P}{C_V}\right )\) are, respectively:
1. \( U=5 R T \text { and } \gamma=\dfrac{7}{5} \)

2. \( U=\dfrac{5}{2} R T \text { and } \gamma=\dfrac{6}{5} \)

3. \(U=5 R T \text { and } \gamma=\dfrac{6}{5} \)

4. \( U=\dfrac{5}{2} R T \text { and } \gamma=\dfrac{7}{5}\)
