An ideal gas expands isothermally from a volume V1 to V2 and then compressed to original volume V1 adiabatically. Initial pressure is P1 and final pressure is P3. The total work done is W. Then

a
P3>P1,W>0
b
P3
c
P3>P1,W<0
d
P3=P1,W=0

detailed solution

Correct option is C

From graph, it is clear that P3 > P1.Since area under adiabatic process (BCED) is greater than that of isothermal process (ABDE), therefore, net work done        W=W1+−WA∵ WA>W1⇒W<0
