The volume \((V)\) of a monatomic gas varies with its temperature \((T),\) as shown in the graph. The ratio of work done by the gas to the heat absorbed by it when it undergoes a change from state \(A\) to state \(B\) will be:
             

1. \(\dfrac{2}{5}\) 2. \(\dfrac{2}{3}\)
3. \(\dfrac{1}{3}\) 4. \(\dfrac{2}{7}\)

A gas is compressed isothermally to half its initial volume. The same gas is compressed separately through an adiabatic process until its volume is again reduced to half. Then,

1. compressing the gas through an adiabatic process will require more work to be done.
2. compressing the gas isothermally or adiabatically will require the same amount of work.
3. which of the case (whether compression through isothermal or through the adiabatic process) requires more work will depend upon the atomicity of the gas.
4. compressing the gas isothermally will require more work to be done.

The molar specific heats of an ideal gas at constant pressure and volume are denoted by \(C_P\) and \(C_V,\) respectively. If \(\gamma =\frac{C_P}{C_V}\) and \(R\) is the universal gas constant, then \(C_V\) is equal to:
1. \(\dfrac{R}{\gamma -1}\) 2. \(\dfrac{\gamma -1}{R}\)
3. \(\gamma R \) 4. \(\dfrac{\left ( \gamma -1 \right )R}{\left ( \gamma +1 \right )}\)
