An ideal gas with constant heat capacity $C_V=\frac{3}{2} n R$ is made to carry out a cycle that is depicted by a triangle in the figure given below. The following statement is true about the cycle.
  • AThe efficiency is given by $1-\frac{p_1 V_1}{p_2 V_2}$
  • BThe efficiency is given by $1-\frac{1}{2} \frac{p_1 V_1}{p_2 V_2}$
  • CNet heat absorbed in the cycle is $\left(p_2-p_1\right)\left(V_2-V_1\right)$
  • DHeat absorbed in part $A C$ is given by $2\left(p_2 V_2-p_1 V_1\right)+\frac{1}{2}\left(p_1 V_2-p_2 V_1\right)$

    Graphs below show the entropy versus energy $U$ of two systems $1$ and $2$ at constant volume. The initial energies of the systems are indicated by $U_{1, i}$ and $U_{2, i}$, respectively. Graphs are drawn to the same scale. The systems are then brought into thermal contact with each other. Assume that, at all times the combined energy of the two systems remains constant. Choose the most appropriate option indicating the energies of the two systems and the total entropy after they achieve the equilibrium.
