$(a,c)$ Given paths over $p-V$ graph are

As in both processes, initial and final points are same, change in internal cnergy (which is not a path function) is same. So, option $(a)$ is correct.

- Both processes are expansion process. So, heat is absorbed in both $1$ and $2$ . Hence, option $(b)$ is incorrect.

- Now, consider isotherms over $p-V$ graph given, we clearly see that for path $2$ temperature increases and then decreases. So, option $(c)$ is correct.

- Area enclosed by path $2$ in $p-V$ graph is larger.

So, work done is more in path $2$. Hence, option $(d)$ is incorrect.

    A thermally isolated cylindrical closed vessel of height $8 m$ is kept vertically. It is divided into two equal parts by a diathermic $($perfect thermal conductor$)$ frictionless partition of mass $8.3 kg$. Thus the partition is held initially at a distance of $4 m$ from the top, as shown in the schematic figure below. Each of the two parts of the vessel contains $0.1$ mole of an ideal gas at temperature $300 K$. The partition is now released and moves without any gas leaking from one part of the vessel to the other. When equilibrium is reached, the distance of the partition from the top $($in $m )$ will be $. . . . . ($take the acceleration due to gravity $=10 ms ^{-2}$ and the universal gas constant $=8.3 J mol ^{-1} K ^{-1} ).$
