Three different processes that can occur in an ideal monoatomic gas are shown in the \(P\) vs \(V\) diagram. The paths are labelled as \(A \rightarrow B, A \rightarrow C\) and \(A\rightarrow D\). The change in internal energies during these process are taken as \(E_{AB}\)\(E_{AC}\)  and \(E_{AD}\) and the work done as \(W_{A B}, W_{A C}\) and \( W_{A D}\). The correct relation between these parameters are:

 

1. \(E_{A B}=E_{A C}=E_{A D}, W_{A B}>0, W_{A C}=0, W_{A D}<0\)
2. \(E_{A B}<E_{A C}<E_{A D}, W_{A B}>0, W_{A C}>W_{A D}\)
3. \(E_{A B}=E_{A C}<E_{A D},W_{A B}>0,W_{A C}=0, W_{A D}<0\)
4. \(E_{A B}>E_{A C}>E_{A D}, \quad W_{A B}< W_{A C}< W_{A D}\)

\(n\) moles of a perfect gas undergoes a cyclic process ABCA (see figure) consisting of the following processes.

\(A\rightarrow B\) Isothermal expansion at temperature \(T\) so that the volume is doubled from \(V_1\) to \(V_2=2V_1\) and pressure changes from \(P_1\) to \(P_2.\)
\(B\rightarrow C\) Isobaric compression at pressure \(P_2\) to initial volume \(V_1\).
\(C\rightarrow A\) Isochoric change leading to change of pressure from \(P_2\) to \(P_1\).

Total work done in the complete cycle \(ABCA\) is: 

  

1. \(0\)
2. \(nRT(\ln 2-\frac{1}{2})\)
3. \(nRT\ln 2\)
4. \(nRT(\ln 2+\frac{1}{2})\)

If one mole of an ideal gas at (\(P_1,V_1 \)) is allowed to expand reversibly and isothermally (\(A\rightarrow B\)) its pressure is reduced to one-half of the original pressure (see figure). This is followed by a constant volume cooling till its pressure is reduced to one-fourth of the initial value (\(B\rightarrow C\)). Then it is restored to its initial state by a reversible adiabatic compression (\(C\rightarrow A\)). The net workdone by the gas is equal to:

  
1. \(\operatorname{RT}\left(\ln 2-\frac{1}{(\gamma-1)}\right) \)
2. \(-\frac{\mathrm{RT}}{2(\gamma-1)}\)
3. \(0\)
4. \(RT\ln2\)
