The expression for the coefficient of performance is,

Coefficient of performance $=\frac{Q_{2}}{Q_{1}-Q_{2}}$

Substitute 800 for $Q_{1}$ and 500 for $Q_{2}$ in above expression.

Coefficient of performance $=\frac{500}{800-500}$

$=\frac{5}{3}$

    One mole of an ideal monoatomic gas undergoes the following four reversible processes:

    Step $1$ It is first compressed adiabatically from volume $V_{1}$ to $1 \;m ^{3}$.

    Step $2$ Then expanded isothermally to volume $10 \;m ^{3}$.

    Step $3$ Then expanded adiabatically to volume $V _{3}$.

    Step $4$ Then compressed isothermally to volume $V_{1}$. If the efficiency of the above cycle is $3 / 4$, then $V_{1}$ is ............ $m^3$
