An ideal gas is taken around ABCA as shown in the \(\mathrm{P}-\mathrm{V}\) diagram. The work done during a cycle is


  1. A 2PV
  2. B PV
  3. C \(\frac{1}{2}PV\)
  4. D Zero
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(A) 2PV

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

The work done during the cycle ABCA is \(\mathrm{W}=\) Area of triangle \(A B C\) on \(P-V\) plane \(=\frac{1}{2} \times(3 \mathrm{~V}-\mathrm{V}) \times(3 \mathrm{P}-\mathrm{P})=2 \mathrm{pV}\)
