    If one mole of an ideal gas at $\left( P _{1}, V _{1}\right)$ is allowed to expand reversibly and isothermally ($A$ to $B$ ) its pressure is reduced to one-half of the original pressure (see $figure$). This is followed by a constant volume cooling till its pressure is reduced to one-fourth of the initial value $( B \rightarrow C ) .$ Then it is restored to its initial state by a reversible adiabatic compression ($C$ to $A$). The net workdone by the gas is equal to  ...... .

    A solid body of constant heat capacity $1\,J /{ }^{\circ} C$ is being heated by keeping it in contact with reservoirs in two ways :

    $(i)$ Sequentially keeping in contact with $2$ reservoirs such that each reservoir supplies same amount of heat.

    $(ii)$ Sequentially keeping in contact with 8 reservoirs such that each reservoir supplies same amount of heat.

    In both the cases body is brought from initial temperature $100^{\circ}\,C$ to final temperature $200^{\circ}\,C$. Entropy change of the body in the two cases respectively is :
