A thermodynamic system undergoes a cyclic process \( A B C \) as shown in the diagram. The work done by the system per cycle is

- A \( -750 \mathrm{~J} \)
- B \( 750 \mathrm{~J} \)
- C \( 1250 \mathrm{~J} \)
- D \( -1250 \mathrm{~J} \)
Answer & Solution
Correct Answer
(A) \( -750 \mathrm{~J} \)
Step-by-step Solution
Detailed explanation
(A)
Work done \( =p \times \Delta v \)
Work done = Area of triangle ABC
\( \therefore W=\frac{1}{2}(10-5) \times(100-400) \)
\( =\frac{5}{2} \times(-300)=-750 \mathrm{~J} \)
The negative sign means the work is done by the system.
