If ΔQ and ΔW represent the heat supplied to the system and the work done on the system respectively, then the first law of thermodynamics can be written as 

(1) ΔQ = ΔU + ΔW

(2) ΔQ = ΔU – ΔW

(3) ΔQ = ΔW – ΔU

(4) ΔQ = –ΔU – ΔW

where ΔU is the internal energy

In a thermodynamic process, pressure of a fixed mass of a gas is changed in such a manner that the gas molecules absorb 30 J of heat and 10 J of work is done by the gas. If the initial internal energy of the gas was 40 J, then the final internal energy will be -

(1) 30 J

(2) 20 J

(3) 60 J

(4) 40 J
