An ideal gas, initially in state $\left( P _{12}, V _1, T _1\right)$ is expanded isobarically to $\left( P _{12}, V _2, T _2\right)$, then adiabatically $\left( P _{34}, V _3, T _3\right)$. It is then contracted isobarically to $\left( P _{34}, V _4, T _4\right)$ and finally adiabatically back to the initial state. The efficiency of this cycle is
  • A$1-\frac{T_4}{T_1}$
  • B$1-\frac{ T _4}{ T _2}$
  • C$1-\frac{ T _3}{ T _1}$
  • D$1-\frac{P_{34}}{P_{12}}$
