If a refrigerator extracts heat 'a' from the cold reservoir and 'b' is the heat released from the hot reservoir, then the work done on the refrigerant (system) is:

1. a + b

2. a-b

3. a

4. b-a

Consider a heat engine as shown in the figure. Q1andQ2 are heat added to T1 and heat taken from T2 respectively, in one cycle of the engine. W is the mechanical work done on the engine.

If W > 0, then possibilities are:

(a)Q1>Q2>0(b)Q2>Q1>0(c)Q2<Q1<0(d)Q1<0,Q2>0

Choose the correct alternatives:
1. (b, c)

2. (a, d)

3. (b, d)

4. (a, c)
