$n$ moles of a van der Waals' gas obeying the equation of state $\left(p+\frac{n^2 a}{V^2}\right)(V-n b)=n R T$, where $a$ and $b$ are gas dependent constants, is made to undergo a cyclic process that is depicted by a rectangle in the $p-V$ diagram as shown below. What is the heat absorbed by the gas in one cycle?
  • A$n\left(p_1-p_2\right)\left(V_2-V_1\right)$

     

  • B$\left(p_1-p_2\right)\left(V_2-V_1\right)$
  • C$\left(p_1+\frac{n^2 a}{V_1^2}-p_2-\frac{n^2 a}{V_2^2}\right)\left(V_1-V_2\right)$
  • D$\left(p_1+\frac{n^2 a}{V_1^2}-p_2-\frac{n^2 a }{V_2^2}\right)\left(V_2-V_1\right)$
