  4. D \(21 \%\)
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(A) \(19.04 \%\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

(No options match) Work done in complete cycle \(=\) Area under closed curve \(=2 P V\) Heat given to the system from \(A\) to \(B=n C_V \Delta T\) \( =n \frac{3}{2} R \Delta T=\frac{3}{2} \times V \times \Delta P=\frac{3}{2} \times V \times(3 P-P)=3 P V \) Similarly, heat given…
