(b)

From $A \longrightarrow B$, volume increasing, pressure constant

$B \longrightarrow C$, Pressure $\propto \frac{1}{\text { Volume }} \Rightarrow$ Temperature constant

Same for $D \longrightarrow A$

$C \longrightarrow D$ pressure decreasing, volume constant

So $P \propto T$

    An engine runs between a reservoir at temperature $200 \,K$ and a hot body which is initially at temperature of $600 \,K$. If the hot body cools down to a temperature of $400 \,K$ in the process, then the maximum amount of work that the engine can do (while working in a cycle) is (the heat capacity of the hot body is $1 \,J / K )$
