    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:

    An iron rod of heat capacity $C$ is heated to temperature $8T_0$ . It is then put in a cylindrical vessel of adiabatic walls having two moles of air which can be treated as diatomic ideal gas at temperature $T_0$ and closed by a movable piston which is also adiabatic. The atmospheric pressure is $P_0$ .  The cylinder with the piston combined have heat capacity $2C$ . Find the equilibrium temperature . (Assume temperature of air to be uniform and equal to vessel at all times) .
