An ideal gas,initially in state $(P_{12}, V_1, T_1)$ is expanded isobarically to $(P_{12}, V_2, T_2)$,then adiabatically to $(P_{34}, V_3, T_3)$. It is then contracted isobarically to $(P_{34}, V_4, T_4)$ and finally adiabatically back to the initial state. The efficiency of this cycle is

  • A
    $1-\frac{T_4}{T_1}$
  • B
    $1-\frac{T_4}{T_2}$
  • C
    $1-\frac{T_3}{T_1}$
  • D
    $1-\frac{P_{34}}{P_{12}}$
