(c) $\Delta U = \mu {C_V}\Delta T = n\,\left( {\frac{R}{{\gamma - 1}}} \right)\Delta T$
$ \Rightarrow \Delta U = \frac{{P\Delta V}}{{(\gamma - 1)}} = \frac{{P(2V - V)}}{{\gamma - 1}} = \frac{{PV}}{{(\gamma - 1)}}$

    Three different processes that can occur in an ideal monoatomic gas are shown in the $P$ vs $V$ diagram. The paths are labelled as $A \rightarrow B, A \rightarrow C$ and $A \rightarrow D .$ The change in internal energies during these process are taken as $E _{ AB }, E _{ AC }$ and $E _{ AD }$ and the work done as $W _{ AB }$ $W _{ AC }$ and $W _{ AD }$

    The correct relation between these parameters are
