Consider a cycle followed by an engine 1 to 2 is isothermal 2 to 3 is adiabatic 3 to 1 is adiabatic Such a process does not exist because

(a) Heat is completely converted to mechanical energy in such a process, which is not possible.

(b) Mechanical energy is completely converted to heat in this process, which is not possible.

(c) Curves representing two adiabatic processes don't intersect.

(d) Curves representing an adiabatic process and an isothermal process don't intersect.

Two moles of helium gas are taken over the cycle ABCDA as shown below in P-T diagram. Assuming the gas to be ideal, the work done on the gas in taking from A to B is

Heat is supplied to an ideal monoatomic gas at constant pressure. The ratio of
