An ideal gas is subjected to a cyclic process $A B C D$ as depicted in the $p-V$ diagram given below. Which of the following curves represents the equivalent cyclic process?

The efficiency of a Carnot engine operating with a hot reservoir kept at a temperature of $1000 K$ is $0.4$. It extracts $150 J$ of heat per cycle from the hot reservoir. The work extracted from this engine is being fully used to run a heat pump which has a coefficient of performance $10$. The hot reservoir of the heat pump is at a temperature of $300 K$. Which of the following statements is/are correct:
$(A)$ Work extracted from the Carnot engine in one cycle is $60 J$.
$(B)$ Temperature of the cold reservoir of the Carnot engine is $600 K$.
$(C)$ Temperature of the cold reservoir of the heat pump is $270 K$.
$(D)$ Heat supplied to the hot reservoir of the heat pump in one cycle is $540 J$.

Match the devices in Column-$I$ with their efficiency/coefficient of performance in Column-$II$:
Column-$I$ Column-$II$
$(a)$ Heat engine $(i)$ $\text{COP} = \frac{Q_2}{Q_1 - Q_2}$
$(b)$ Heat pump $(ii)$ $\eta = \frac{Q_1 - Q_2}{Q_1}$
$(iii)$ $\eta = \frac{T_1 - T_2}{T_1}$
