- C 3
- D 4
Answer & Solution
Correct Answer
(B) 2
Step-by-step Solution
Detailed explanation
For first case: \(W_{ I }=W_a+W_b+W_c+W_d \)
\( =4 P_0\left(2 V_0-V_0\right)+n R T \ln \left(\frac{4 V_0}{2 V_0}\right)+2 P_0\) \(\left(V_0-4 V_0\right)+0 \)
\( =4 P_0 V_0+n R\left(\frac{8 P_0 V_0}{n R}\right) \ln 2-6 P_0 V_0 \)
\( =8 P_0 V_0 \ln 2-2 P_0 V_0\)
\( =4 P_0\left(2 V_0-V_0\right)+n R T \ln \left(\frac{4 V_0}{2 V_0}\right)+2 P_0\) \(\left(V_0-4 V_0\right)+0 \)
\( =4 P_0 V_0+n R\left(\frac{8 P_0 V_0}{n R}\right) \ln 2-6 P_0 V_0 \)
\( =8 P_0 V_0 \ln 2-2 P_0 V_0\)
