    A thermodynamic system is taken form an initial state $i$ with internal energy $U_1=100 \ J$ to the final state along two different paths iaf and ibf, as schematically shown in the fire. The work done by the system along the paths $af$, ib and bf are $W _{ af }=200 \ J , W _{ ID }=50 \ J$ and $W _{ br }=100 \ J$ respectively. The heat supplied to the system along the path iaf, ib and bf are $Q_{\mid a t l} Q_{b r}$ and $Q_{10}$ respectively. If the internal energy of the sytem in the state $b$ is $U_b=$ $200 \ J$ and $Q_{l a t}=500 \ J$, the ratio $Q_{b J} / Q_{10}$ is:

    Three different processes that can occur in an ideal monoatomic gas are shown in the $P$ vs $V$ diagram. The paths are labelled as $A \rightarrow B, A \rightarrow C$ and $A \rightarrow D .$ The change in internal energies during these process are taken as $E _{ AB }, E _{ AC }$ and $E _{ AD }$ and the work done as $W _{ AB }$ $W _{ AC }$ and $W _{ AD }$
