    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  ...... .
