Consider two containers $A$ and $B$ containing identical gases at the same pressure,volume and temperature. The gas in container $A$ is compressed to half of its original volume isothermally while the gas in container $B$ is compressed to half of its original volume adiabatically. The ratio of final pressure of gas in $B$ to that of gas in $A$ is

  • A
    $2^{\gamma-1}$
  • B
    ${\left( {\frac{1}{2}} \right)^{\gamma - 1}}$
  • C
    ${\left( {\frac{1}{{1 - \gamma }}} \right)^2}$
  • D
    ${\left( {\frac{1}{{\gamma - 1 }}} \right)^2}$

One mole of an ideal gas is taken through a cyclic process with alternating isothermal and adiabatic curves. In the $P-V$ diagram, $AB, CD, EF$ are isothermal curves at absolute temperatures $T_1, T_2,$ and $T_3$ respectively, and $BC, DE,$ and $FA$ are adiabatic curves. If $\frac{V_B}{V_A} = 2$ and $\frac{V_D}{V_C} = 2$, then for the cycle shown in the figure, four statements are made below. (Figure is not drawn to scale)
Statement $1$: Ratio of volumes $\frac{V_E}{V_F} = 4$
Statement $2$: Magnitude of work done in isothermal compression $EF$ is $2RT_3 \ln(2)$
Statement $3$: Ratio of heat supplied to the gas in process $AB$ to heat rejected by the gas in process $EF$ is $\frac{T_1}{T_3}$
Statement $4$: Net work done by the gas in the cycle $ABCDEFA$ is $(T_1 + T_2 - 2T_3) R \ln(2)$
