Which one of the following options is correct?

An ideal gas undergoes a cyclic thermodynamic process in different ways as shown in the corresponding $P-V$ diagrams in column $3$ of the table. Consider only the path from state $1$ to $2$. $W$ denotes the corresponding work done on the system. The equations and plots in the table have standard notations as used in thermodynamic processes. Here $\gamma$ is the ratio of heat capacities at constant pressure and constant volume. The number of moles in the gas is $n$.

$A$ small particle of mass $m$ moving inside a heavy, hollow and straight tube along the tube axis undergoes elastic collision at two ends. The tube has no friction and it is closed at one end by a flat surface while the other end is fitted with a heavy movable flat piston as shown in the figure. When the distance of the piston from the closed end is $L = L_0$, the particle speed is $v = v_0$. The piston is moved inward at a very low speed $V$ such that $V \ll \frac{dL}{L} v_0$, where $dL$ is the infinitely small displacement of the piston. Which of the following statement(s) is/are correct?
$(1)$ The rate at which the particle strikes the piston is $v / (2L)$
$(2)$ After each collision with the piston, the particle speed increases by $2V$
$(3)$ The particle's kinetic energy increases by a factor of $4$ when the piston is moved inward from $L_0$ to $L_0 / 2$
$(4)$ If the piston moves inward by $dL$, the particle speed increases by $v \frac{dL}{L}$

$A$ monoatomic gas performs a work of $\frac{Q}{4}$,where $Q$ is the heat supplied to it. The molar heat capacity of the gas during this transformation will be $xR$,where $R$ is the gas constant. Find the value of $x$.
