    Two moles of monoatomic gas is expanded from $(P_0, V_0)$ to $(P_0 , 2V_0)$ under isobaric condition. Let $\Delta Q_1$, be the heat given to the gas, $\Delta W_1$ the work done by the gas and $\Delta U_1$ the change in internal energy. Now the monoatomic gas is replaced by a diatomic gas. Other conditions remaining the same. The corresponding values in this case are $\Delta Q_2 , \Delta W_2 , \Delta U_2$ respectively, then

    Three moles of an ideal gas $\left( {{C_P} = \frac{7}{2}R} \right)$ at pressure ${P_A}$ and temperature ${T_A}0$ is isothermally expanded to twice its initial volume. It is then compressed at constant pressure to its original volume. Finally the gas is compressed at constant volume to its original pressure ${P_A}.$ The correct $P-V$ and $P-T$ diagrams indicating the process are
