Question 1
2021 Paper 1
3mole of a perfect gas undergoes a cyclic process ABCA (see figure) consisting of the following processes - : Isothermal expansion at temperature so that the volume is doubled from to and pressure changes from to . C : Isobaric compression at pressure to initial volume . : Isochoric change leading to change of pressure from to . Total workdone in the complete cycle ABCA is -Tap an option to check your answer.
Question 2

80An ideal gas exists in a state with pressure , volume . It is isothermally expanded to 4 times of its initial volume , then isobarically compressed to its original volume. Finally the system is heated isochorically to bring it to its initial state. The amount of heat exchanged in this process isTap an option to check your answer.
