$I.$ The average kinetic energy of the gas atoms increases
$II.$ The atoms of the gas hit the walls of the cylinder more frequently
$III.$ Temperature of the gas remains unchanged
Which of these statements is true?

    In a thermodynamics process, pressure of a fixed mass of a gas is changed in such a manner that the gas releases $20\,J$ of heat and $8\,J$ of work is done on the gas. If the initial internal energy of the gas was $30\,J$. The final internal energy will be...... $J$

    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 $W _{ AD }$
