If $\Delta Q$ and $\Delta W$ represent the heat supplied to the system and the work done on the system respectively, then the first law of thermodynamics can be written as
  • A$\Delta Q = \Delta U + \Delta W$
  • B$\Delta Q = \Delta U - \Delta W$
  • C$\Delta Q = \Delta W - \Delta U$ 
  • D$\Delta Q = -\Delta W - \Delta U$

    A thermodynamic system is taken form an initial state $i$ with internal energy $U_1=100 \ J$ to the final state along two different paths iaf and ibf, as schematically shown in the fire. The work done by the system along the paths $af$, ib and bf are $W _{ af }=200 \ J , W _{ ID }=50 \ J$ and $W _{ br }=100 \ J$ respectively. The heat supplied to the system along the path iaf, ib and bf are $Q_{\mid a t l} Q_{b r}$ and $Q_{10}$ respectively. If the internal energy of the sytem in the state $b$ is $U_b=$ $200 \ J$ and $Q_{l a t}=500 \ J$, the ratio $Q_{b J} / Q_{10}$ is:
