An ideal gas with constant heat capacity $C_V = \frac{3}{2} n R$ is made to carry out a cycle that is depicted by a triangle in the figure given below. The following statement is true about the cycle.

  • A
    The efficiency is given by $1 - \frac{p_1 V_1}{p_2 V_2}$
  • B
    The efficiency is given by $1 - \frac{1}{2} \frac{p_1 V_1}{p_2 V_2}$
  • C
    Net heat absorbed in the cycle is $(p_2 - p_1)(V_2 - V_1)$
  • D
    Heat absorbed in part $AC$ is given by $2(p_2 V_2 - p_1 V_1) + \frac{1}{2}(p_1 V_2 - p_2 V_1)$

$A$ reversible cyclic process for an ideal gas is shown below. Here,$P, V$,and $T$ are pressure,volume,and temperature,respectively. The thermodynamic parameters $q, w, H$,and $U$ are heat,work,enthalpy,and internal energy,respectively.
The correct option$(s)$ is (are):
$(A)$ $q_{AC} = \Delta U_{AC}$ and $W_{AB} = 0$
$(B)$ $W_{BC} = P_2(V_1 - V_2)$ and $q_{BC} = \Delta H_{BC}$
$(C)$ $\Delta H_{CA} < \Delta U_{CA}$ and $q_{AC} = \Delta U_{AC}$

Two cylinders $A$ and $B$ fitted with pistons contain equal number of moles of an ideal monoatomic gas at $400 \,K$. The piston of $A$ is free to move while that of $B$ is held fixed. The same amount of heat energy is given to the gas in each cylinder. If the rise in temperature of the gas in $A$ is $42 \,K$, what is the rise in temperature of the gas in $B$ (in $\,K$)? (Given $\gamma = 5/3$)
