The figure shows the $P-V$ plot of an ideal gas taken through a cycle $ABCDA.$ The part $ABC$ is a semicircle and $CDA$ is half of an ellipse. Then,
AThe process during the path $A \to B$ is isothermal
BHeat is absorbed by the gas during the path $B\to C\to D$
CWork done during the path $A\to B\to C$ is zero
DPositive work is done by the gas in the cycle $ABCDA$

Consider two containers $A$ and $B$ containing identical gases at the same pressure, volume and temperature. The gas in container $A$ is compressed to half of its original volume isothermally while the gas in container $B$ is compressed to half of its original value adiabatically. The ratio of final pressure of gas in $B$ to that of gas in $A$ is
The pressure of an ideal gas varies with volume as $P = \alpha V,$ where $\alpha $ is a constant. One mole of the gas is allowed to undergo expansion such that its volume becomes $'m'$ times its initial volume. The work done by the gas in the process is
During the adiabatic expansion of $2$ moles of a gas, the internal energy of the gas is found to decrease by $2$ joules, the work done during the process on the gas will be equal to ....... $J$
A given mass of a gas expands from a state $A$ to the state $B$ by three paths $1, 2$ and $3$ as shown in $T-V$ indicator diagram. If $W_1, W_2$ and $W_3$ respectively be the work done by the gas along the three paths, then
