One mole of an ideal gas is taken from a to $b$ along two paths denoted by the solid and the dashed lines as shown in the graph below. If the work done along the solid line path is $\mathrm{w}_{\mathrm{s}}$ and that along the dotted line path is $w_d$, then the integer closest to the ratio $w_d / w_5$ is
