Solution:
For an ideal gas, the relationship between \( C_p \) and \( C_v \) is:
\[
C_p - C_v = R
\]
where \( R \approx 2 \, \text{cal/mole-K} \).
Check each option:
1. If \( C_v = 3 \) and \( C_p = 5 \):
\[
C_p - C_v = 5 - 3 = 2 = R
\]
This matches the expected result.
2. Other sets will not satisfy \( C_p - C_v = 2 \) as accurately.
Thus, \( C_v = 3 \) and \( C_p = 5 \) is the most reliable set.
