Two samples of gas $A$ and $B$ are initially at the same pressure and temperature. They are compressed from volume $V$ to $V/2$. If $A$ is compressed isothermally and $B$ is compressed adiabatically,then the final pressure of $A$ is:

  • A
    Greater than the final pressure of $B$
  • B
    Equal to the final pressure of $B$
  • C
    Less than the final pressure of $B$
  • D
    Double the final pressure of $B$

One mole of an ideal gas is taken through a cyclic process with alternating isothermal and adiabatic curves. In the $P-V$ diagram, $AB, CD, EF$ are isothermal curves at absolute temperatures $T_1, T_2,$ and $T_3$ respectively, and $BC, DE,$ and $FA$ are adiabatic curves. If $\frac{V_B}{V_A} = 2$ and $\frac{V_D}{V_C} = 2$, then for the cycle shown in the figure, four statements are made below. (Figure is not drawn to scale)
Statement $1$: Ratio of volumes $\frac{V_E}{V_F} = 4$
Statement $2$: Magnitude of work done in isothermal compression $EF$ is $2RT_3 \ln(2)$
Statement $3$: Ratio of heat supplied to the gas in process $AB$ to heat rejected by the gas in process $EF$ is $\frac{T_1}{T_3}$
Statement $4$: Net work done by the gas in the cycle $ABCDEFA$ is $(T_1 + T_2 - 2T_3) R \ln(2)$
Find the number of correct statements given for the cyclic process followed by the gas.

$A$ heating element of resistance $r$ is fitted inside an adiabatic cylinder which carries a frictionless piston of mass $m$ and cross-sectional area $A$. The cylinder contains one mole of a diatomic gas. The temperature of the gas varies with time $t$ as $T = \alpha t + \frac{1}{2} \beta t^2$ (where $\alpha$ and $\beta$ are constants),while the pressure remains constant. The atmospheric pressure above the piston is $P_0$. Then:
