One mole of an ideal gas goes from an initial state $A$ to a final state $B$ via two processes: It first undergoes isothermal expansion from volume $V$ to $3V$ and then its volume is reduced from $3V$ to $V$ at constant pressure. The correct $P-V$ diagram representing the two processes is:

  • A
    Option A
  • B
    Option B
  • C
    Option C
  • D

An ideal gas undergoes a cyclic thermodynamic process in different ways as shown in the corresponding $P-V$ diagrams in column $3$ of the table. Consider only the path from state $1$ to $2$. $W$ denotes the corresponding work done on the system. The equations and plots in the table have standard notations as used in thermodynamic processes. Here $\gamma$ is the ratio of heat capacities at constant pressure and constant volume. The number of moles in the gas is $n$.
