$Assertion :$ The isothermal curves intersect each other at a certain point.
$Reason :$ The isothermal change takes place slowly, so, the isothermal curves have very little slope.

C
If the Assertion is correct but Reason is incorrect.
D
If the Assertion is incorrect but the Reason is correct.

d Isothermal curves have slope which is equal to $\frac{P}{V}$. It can be calculated as follows $PV = RT$ Differentiating, $PdV + VdP = 0$ $-\frac{dP}{dV} = \frac{P}{V}$ Now, if they cut each other at certain point, they will have different slope at the same point (for same value of $P$ and $V$). So, they can not cut each other at some point. Reason is true, slope is $\frac{P}{V}$ . For adiabatic curve slope is $\gamma $ times $\frac {P}{V}$ .

The pressure and density of a diatomic gas $(\gamma = 7/5)$ change adiabatically from $(P, d)$ to $(P', d')$. If $\frac{{d'}}{d} = 32$, then $\frac{{P'}}{P}$ should be
An ideal Carnot engine, whose efficiency is $40 \%$ receives heat at $500\; K$. If its efficiency is $50 \%$ then the intake temperature for the same exhaust temperature is ......... $K$
Consider the efficiency of Carnot's engine is given by $\eta=\frac{\alpha \beta}{\sin \theta} \log _{e} \frac{\beta x}{k T}$, where $\alpha$ and $\beta$ are constants. If $T$ is temperature, $k$ is Boltzman constant, $\theta$ is angular displacement and $x$ has the dimensions of length. Then, choose the incorrect option.
An ideal gas of mass $m$ in a state $A$ goes to another state $B$ via three different processes as shown in figure. If $Q_{1}, Q_{2}$ and $Q_{3}$ denote the heat absorbed by the gas along the three paths, then
An ideal gas undergoes cyclic process as shown in density pressure graph. During the process $AB$ the work done $|W_{AB}| = 70\,J$ . During the process $BC$, the gas absorbs $150\,J$ of heat. During the process $CA$ , gas undergoes expansion and does $210\,J$ of work
