In the reported figure, there is a cyclic process ABCDA on a sample of 1mol of a diatomic gas. The temperature of the gas during the process A→B and C→D are T? and T? (T? > T?) respectively. Choose the correct option out of the following for work done if processes BC and DA are adiabatic.

Option 1 -
W_AB = W_DC
Option 2 -
W_AD = W_BC
Option 3 -
W_BC < W_AD
Option 4 -
W_BC + W_DA > 0

Correct Option - 3
Detailed Solution:A→B & D→C (isothermal process)
So, TA = TB & TD = TC. Now B→C & D→A (adiabatic process)
|WBC| = nR/ (γ-1) (TB - TC)
|WAD| = nR/ (γ-1) (TA - TD) = nR/ (γ-1) (TB - TC)
∴ |WBC| = |WAD|
