JEE Advanced 2014 Easy - Paragraph :
A thermally insulating cylinder has a thermally insulating and frictionless movable partition in the middle, as shown in the figure below. On each side of the partition, there is one mole of an ideal gas, with specific heat at constant volume, \(C_{V}=2 R\). Here, \(R\) is the gas constant. Initially, each side has a volume \(V_{0}\) and temperature \(T_{0}\). The left side has an electric heater, which is turned on at very low power to transfer heat \(Q\) to the gas on the left side. As a result the partition moves slowly towards the right reducing the right side volume to \(V_{0} / 2\). Consequently, the gas temperatures on the left and the right sides become \(T_{L}\) and \(T_{R}\), respectively. Ignore the changes in the temperatures of the cylinder, heater and the partition.

- Paragraph:
The mass of a nucleus \({ }_{Z}^{A} X\) is less than the sum of the masses of \((A-Z)\) number of neutrons and \(Z\) number of protons in the nucleus. The energy equivalent to the corresponding mass difference is known as the binding energy of the nucleus. A heavy nucleus of mass \(M\) can break into two light nuclei of masses \(m_{1}\) and \(m_{2}\) only if \(\left(m_{1}+m_{2}\right) \lt M\). Also two light nuclei of masses \(m_{3}\) and \(m_{4}\) can undergo complete fusion and form a heavy nucleus of mass \(M^{\prime}\) only if \(\left(m_{3}+m_{4}\right) \gt M^{\prime}\). The masses of some neutral atoms are given in the table below:
