In this article, we study the relationship between p-(V ) subsets and p-(V * ) subsets of dual spaces. We investigate the Banach space X with the property that adjoint every p-convergent operator T : X → Y is weakly q-compact, for every Banach space Y. Moreover, we define the notion of qreciprocal Dunford-Pettis * property of order p on Banach spaces and obtain a characterization of Banach spaces with this property. Also, the stability of reciprocal Dunford-Pettis property of order p for projective tensor product is given.2010 Mathematics Subject Classification. Primary 46B20; Secondary 46B25, 46B28.
