Given process is isobaric.

$\therefore \,dQ = n{C_p}dT;\,where\,{C_p}\,is\,specific\,heat\,at\,constant\,pressure.$

or        $dQ = n\left( {\frac{5}{2}R} \right)dT$

$Also,\,dW = PdV = nRdT\,\left( {PV = nRT} \right)$

Required ratio$ = \frac{{dW}}{{dQ}} = \frac{{nRdT}}{{n\left( {\frac{5}{2}R} \right)dT}} = \frac{2}{5}$

    One mole of ideal gas taken through a cycle process with alternate isothermal and adiabatic curves. In $P-V$ diagram $AB, CD, EF$ are isothermal curves at the absolute temperature $T_1, T_2$ and $T_3$ respectively and $BC, DE$ and $FA$ are adiabatic curves respectively. If $\frac{{{V_B}}}{{{V_A}}} = 2,\,\frac{{{V_D}}}{{{V_C}}} = 2$ then for cycle is shown in figure four statements are being made given below. (Figure is not drawn on scale) 

    Statement $1$ : Ratio of volumes $\frac{{{V_E}}}{{{V_F}}} = 4$

    Statement $2$ : Magnitude of work done in isothermal compression $EF$ is $2RT_3\ ln\ (2)$
