An ideal gas expands isothermally from a volume ${V_1}$ to ${V_2}$ and then compressed to original volume ${V_1}$adiabatically. Initial pressure is ${P_1}$ and final pressure is ${P_3}$. The total work done is $W$. Then

(c)From graph it is clear that ${P_3} > {P_1}$.
Since area under adiabatic process $(BCED)$ is greater than that of isothermal process $(ABDE)$. Therefore net work done
$W = {W_i} + ( - {W_A})$$⇒$ $W < 0$
