    Starting with the same initial conditions, an ideal gas expands from volume $V_{1}$ to $V_{2}$ in three different ways. The work done by the gas is $W_{1}$ if the process is purely isothermal. $W _{2}$. if the process is purely adiabatic and $W _{3}$ if the process is purely isobaric. Then, choose the coned option
