One mole of an ideal gas undergoes a cyclic process,consisting of two isochores and two isobars. Temperatures at points $1$ and $3$ are $T_1$ and $T_3$ respectively. Find the work done by the gas over the cycle,if points $2$ and $4$ lie on the same isotherm.

An ideal gas is compressed isothermally until its pressure is doubled and then allowed to expand adiabatically to regain its original volume ($\gamma = 1.4$ and $2^{-1.4} = 0.38$). The ratio of the final to initial pressure is (in $: 1$)

The cycle shown in the figure represents an engine (the engine consists of one mole of gas in a cylinder with a piston). $A$ to $B$ is isochoric,$B$ to $C$ is isothermal,$C$ to $D$ is isochoric,and $D$ to $A$ is isothermal. Also,$V_C = V_D = 2V_A = 2V_B$.
$(a)$ In which part of the cycle is heat supplied to the engine from the outside?
$(b)$ In which part of the cycle can the engine give energy to its surroundings?
$(c)$ How much work is done by the engine during one cycle? Give your answer in terms of $P_A, P_B$ and $V_A$.
$(d)$ What is the efficiency of the engine? (For the gas,$\gamma = 5/3$,and for one mole,$C_V = 3/2 R$)
