Options
- A
- B
- C
- D
Correct answer
A.
Step-by-step solution
Process undergone by 1 mole gas is as shown

For an ideal monoatomic gas, ratio of specific heat For adiabatic process Substituting values of and from graph, Here, or Similarly for adiabatic compression , We substitute values from graph, Now, Work done in process Here we substitute work done for adiabatic process, and work done of isobaric process, so, work done in given cycle Substituting values of pressures and volumes, we get $\begin{aligned}=\frac{3 \times 10^5 \times 3}{2}+7 \times 10^5 & +\frac{-24 \times 10^5 \times 3}{2} \\ & +4 \times 10^5 \times-7=-52.5 \times 10^5 \mathrm{~J}\end{aligned}
