The figure shows the $P-V$ plot of an ideal gas taken through a cycle $ABCDA$. The part $ABC$ is a semi-circle and $CDA$ is half of an ellipse. Then,

$(A)$ the process during the path $\mathrm{A} \rightarrow \mathrm{B}$ is isothermal

$(B)$ heat flows out of the gas during the path $\mathrm{B} \rightarrow \mathrm{C} \rightarrow \mathrm{D}$

$(C)$ work done during the path $\mathrm{A} \rightarrow \mathrm{B} \rightarrow \mathrm{C}$ is zero

$(D)$ positive work is done by the gas in the cycle $ABCDA$

  • A$(B,D)$
  • B$(C,D)$
  • C$(A,B)$
  • D$(A,C)$

    An iron rod of heat capacity $C$ is heated to temperature $8T_0$ . It is then put in a cylindrical vessel of adiabatic walls having two moles of air which can be treated as diatomic ideal gas at temperature $T_0$ and closed by a movable piston which is also adiabatic. The atmospheric pressure is $P_0$ .  The cylinder with the piston combined have heat capacity $2C$ . Find the equilibrium temperature . (Assume temperature of air to be uniform and equal to vessel at all times) .
