Assertion : Heat and work are modes of energy transfer to a system resulting in change in its internal energy.
Reason : Heat and work in thermodynamics are state variables.
The correct option among the following is

In a thermodynamic process,the pressure of a fixed mass of a gas is changed in such a manner that the gas releases $20 \, J$ of heat when $8 \, J$ of work is done on the gas. If the initial internal energy of the gas was $30 \, J$,then the final internal energy will be .... $J$.

An electric appliance supplies $6000 \, J/min$ of heat to the system. If the system delivers a power of $90 \, W$,how long (in $sec$) would it take to increase the internal energy by $2.5 \times 10^{3} \, J$?

$A$ system is given $300$ calories of heat and it does $600$ joules of work. How much does the internal energy of the system change in this process? $(J = 4.18 \text{ Joules/cal})$ (in joule)

If heat given to a system is $6 \, kcal$ and work done is $6 \, kJ$,then the change in internal energy is ....... $kJ$.
