In the following $P-V$ diagram two adiabatics cut two isothermals at temperatures $T_1$ and $T_2$ (fig.). The value of $\frac{{{V_a}}}{{{V_d}}}$ will be
A$\frac{{{V_b}}}{{{V_c}}}$
B$\frac{{{V_c}}}{{{V_b}}}$
C$\frac{{{V_d}}}{{{V_a}}}$
D${V_b}{V_c}$

A$\frac{{{V_b}}}{{{V_c}}}$
a (a) For adiabatic process ${T_1}V_b^{\gamma - 1}$= Constant
For $bc$ curve ${T_1}V_b^{\gamma - 1} = {T_2}V_c^{\gamma - 1}$ or $\frac{{{T_2}}}{{{T_1}}} = {\left( {\frac{{{V_b}}}{{{V_c}}}} \right)^{\gamma - 1}}$…..$(i)$
For $ad$ curve ${T_1}V_a^{\gamma - 1} = {T_2}V_d^{\gamma - 1}$ or $\frac{{{T_2}}}{{{T_1}}} = {\left( {\frac{{{V_a}}}{{{V_d}}}} \right)^{\gamma - 1}}$…..$(ii)$
From equation $(i)$ and $(ii)$ $\frac{{{V_b}}}{{{V_c}}} = \frac{{{V_a}}}{{{V_d}}}$

An ideal gas goes through a reversible cycle $a\to b\to c\to d$ has the $V - T$ diagram shown below. Process $d\to a$ and $b\to c$ are adiabatic.... The corresponding $P - V$ diagram for the process is (all figures are schematic and not drawn to scale)
An ideal Carnot heat engine with an efficiency of $30\%$.It absorbs heat from a hot reservoir at $727^o C$. The temperature of the cold reservoir is .... $^oC$
The coefficient of performance of a refrigerator is $5$ . If the temperature inside freezer is $-20\,^oC$ , the temperature of the surroundings to which it rejects heat is ....... $^oC$
A total of $48 \mathrm{~J}$ heat is given to one mole of helium kept in a cylinder. The temperature of helium increases by $2^{\circ} \mathrm{C}$. The work done by the gas is : (Given, $\mathrm{R}=8.3 \mathrm{~J} \mathrm{~K}^{-1} \mathrm{~mol}^{-1}$.)
$A$ reversible engine converts one-sixth of the heat input into work. When the temperature of the sink is reduced by $ 62^oC$, the efficiency of the engine is doubled. The temperatures of the source and sink are
