The $P-V$ diagram shows seven curved paths (connected by vertical paths) that can be followed by a gas. Which two of them should be parts of a closed cycle if the net work done by the gas is to be at its maximum value

(c) Area enclosed between $a$ and $f$ is maximum. So work done in closed cycles follows $a$ and $f$ is maximum.

The pressure and volume of an ideal gas are related as $\mathrm{PV}^{3 / 2}=\mathrm{K}$ (Constant). The work done when the gas is taken from state $A\left(P_1, V_1, T_1\right)$ to state $\mathrm{B}\left(\mathrm{P}_2, \mathrm{~V}_2, \mathrm{~T}_2\right)$ is :
A gas for which $\gamma = 1.5$ is suddenly compressed to $\frac{1}{4}$ th of the initial volume. Then the ratio of the final to the initial pressure is
One mole of an ideal gas at temperature $T_1$ expends according to the law $\frac{P}{{{V^2}}} =a$ (constant). The work done by the gas till temperature of gas becomes $T_2 $ is
In a thermodynamic process two moles of a monatomic ideal gas obeys $P \propto V^{-2}$. If temperature of the gas increases from $300 \,K$ to $400 \,K$, then find work done by the gas .........$R$ (where $R=$ universal gas constant).
A Carnot engine whose sink is at $300\, K$ has an efficiency of $40\%.$ By how much should the temperature of source be increased so as to increase its efficiency by $50\%$ of original efficiency ..... $K$
The given diagram shows four processes i.e., isochoric, isobaric, isothermal and adiabatic. The correct assignment of the processes, in the same order is given by
