Question

An ideal gas is taken through the cycle `AtoBtoCtoA,` as shown in the figure, If the net heat supplied to the gas in the cycle is 5J, the work done by the gas in the process CtoA is

Answer 1

Correct Answer - A
For complete cycle ` DeltaU = 0 "so" W = Q = 5`
`implies W_(AB) + W_(BC) + W_(CA) = 5 "But" W_(BC) = 0` & `W_(AB) = 10(2-1) = 10 implies W_(CA) = 5- 10 = -5J`
