The figure shows the \((P\text-V)\) diagram of an ideal gas undergoing a change of state from \(A\) to \(B.\) Four different paths \(\mathrm{I, II, III}\) and \(\mathrm{IV},\) as shown in the figure, may lead to the same change of state.
                  

(a) The change in internal energy is the same in cases \(\mathrm{IV}\) and \(\mathrm{III}\) but not in cases \(\mathrm{I}\) and \(\mathrm{II}.\)
(b) The change in internal energy is the same in all four cases.
(c) The work done is maximum in case \(\mathrm{I}.\)
(d) The work done is minimum in case \(\mathrm{II}.\)


Which of the following options contains only correct statements?

1. (b), (c) and (d) only 2. (a) and (d) only
3. (b) and (c) only 4. (a), (c) and (d) only

A given mass of gas expands from state \(A\) to state \(B\) by three paths \(1, 2~\text{and}~3\), as shown in the figure. If \(W_1, W_2~\text{and}~W_3\) respectively be the work done by the gas along the three paths, then:

      

1. \(W_1 >W_2>W_3\) 2. \(W_1<W_2<W_3\)
3. \(W_1 =W_2=W_3\) 4. \(W_1 <W_2=W_3\)

The pressure-temperature \((P\text-T)\) graph for two processes, \(A\) and \(B,\) in a system is shown in the figure. If \(W_1\) and \(W_2\) are work done by the gas in process \(A\) and \(B\) respectively, then:

      

1. \(W_{1}=W_2\) 2. \(W_{1}<W_2\)
3. \(W_{1}>W_2\) 4. \(W_{1}= - W_2\)

The pressure of a monoatomic gas increases linearly from \(4\times 10^5~\text{N/m}^2\) to \(8\times 10^5~\text{N/m}^2\) when its volume increases from \(0.2 ~\text m^3\) to \(0.5 ~\text m^3.\) The work done by the gas is:
1. \(2 . 8 \times10^{5}~\text J\)
2. \(1 . 8 \times10^{6}~\text J\)
3. \(1 . 8 \times10^{5}~\text J\)
4. \(1 . 8 \times10^{2}~\text J\)
