Consider two containers A and B containing identical gases at the same pressure, volume and temperature. The gas in container A is compressed to half of its original volume isothermally while the gas in container B is compressed to half of its original value adiabatically. The ratio of final pressure of gas in B to that of gas in A is

(a) $2^{\mathit{\gamma }-1}$  

(b) ${\left(\frac{1}{2}\right)}^{\mathit{\gamma }-1}$   

(c) $({\frac{1}{1-\mathit{\gamma }})\mathit{}\mathit{}}^2$  

(d) ${\left(\frac{1}{\mathit{\gamma }-1}\right)}^2$  

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

An ideal engine whose efficiency is 40%, receives heat at 500 K. If required efficiency is 50%, then intake temperature for the same exhaust temperature is
