One mole of an ideal monatomic gas undergoes a cyclic process as shown in the figure. The total heat supplied to the gas is :

Options
- A J
- B J
- C J
- D J
Correct answer
D. J
Step-by-step solution
For a complete cyclic process, the change in internal energy is zero, i.e., .
According to the first law of thermodynamics, .
Therefore, the net heat supplied to the gas is equal to the net work done by the gas: .
The net work done is given by the area enclosed by the cycle on the diagram.
Thus, the total heat supplied to the gas is .
