For gaseous phase equilibrium `PCl_(5(g)) ⇌ PCl_(3(g)) + Cl_(2(g)),` the equilibrium partial pressures of `PCl_5, PCl_3` and `Cl_2` are 10 atm, 6 atm and 7 atm respectively in a 5L container. At constant temperature if we decrease the volume of the container to 2.5 L then which of the following is correct

A.

`P_(PCl_5)>10atm, P_(PCl_3)>6atm, P_(PCl_2)>7atm`

B.

`P_(PCl_5)>10atm, P_(PCl_3)<6atm, P_(PCl_2)<7atm`

C.

`P_(PCl_5)<10atm, P_(PCl_3)<6atm, P_(PCl_2)<7atm`

D.

`P_(PCl_5)<10atm, P_(PCl_3)>6atm, P_(PCl_2)>7atm`

The partial pressure of all the gases will increase with respect to initial partial pressures as the volume of the container is halved.
