Given below are two statements:
| Statement I: | When \(\mu\) amount of an ideal gas undergoes adiabatic change from state \(\left({P}_1, {V}_1, {T}_1\right)\) to state \(\left({P}_2, {V}_2, {T}_2\right)\), the work done is \({W}=\dfrac{\mu{R}\left({T}_2-{T}_1\right)}{1-\gamma}\), where \(\gamma=\dfrac{C_P}{C_V}\) and \(R=\) universal gas constant, |
| Statement II: | In the above case, when work is done on the gas, the temperature of the gas would rise. |
| 1. | Both Statement I and Statement II are correct. |
| 2. | Both Statement I and Statement II are incorrect. |
| 3. | Statement I is correct, but statement II is incorrect. |
