Detailed Solution

For a cyclic process,  ΔU=0
Qcycle=Wcycle     ….   (1)
Where,   Wcycle=WAB+WBC+WCA    ….  (2)
Process  CA  is isochoric, hence   WCA=0
Process   AB isobaric, as its T-V graph is a straight line
Passing through origin
In an isobaric process, work done is  WAB=P(VBVA)=nR(TBTA)
WAB=1×8.3(400300)=830J …. (3)
WAB  is positive, so expansion of gas takes place.
From the equations 1,2,3 we get
-1000=830+ WBC+0

WBC=1830J
