An ideal gas is subjected to a cyclic process $ABCD$ as depicted in the $p-V$ diagram given below. Which of the following curves represents the equivalent cyclic process?

Draw $P-V$ curves for isothermal and adiabatic processes of an ideal gas.

The initial pressure and volume of a gas are $P$ and $V$ respectively. First,the gas is expanded to a volume of $9V$ by an isothermal process,and then it is compressed to a volume of $V$ by an adiabatic process. What is its final pressure (in $P$)? (Ratio of specific heat at constant pressure to constant volume $\gamma = \frac{3}{2}$)

The graph for $y = 1 - e^{-x}$ is represented by (for $x > 0$):

An ideal monoatomic gas is confined in a horizontal cylinder by a spring-loaded piston (as shown in the figure). Initially,the gas is at temperature $T_1$,pressure $P_1$,and volume $V_1$,and the spring is in its relaxed state. The gas is then heated very slowly to temperature $T_2$,pressure $P_2$,and volume $V_2$. During this process,the piston moves out by a distance $x$. Ignoring the friction between the piston and the cylinder,the correct statement$(s)$ is(are):
$(A)$ If $V_2=2V_1$ and $T_2=3T_1$,then the energy stored in the spring is $\frac{1}{4}P_1V_1$
$(B)$ If $V_2=2V_1$ and $T_2=3T_1$,then the change in internal energy is $3P_1V_1$
$(C)$ If $V_2=3V_1$ and $T_2=4T_1$,then the work done by the gas is $\frac{7}{3}P_1V_1$
$(D)$ If $V_2=3V_1$ and $T_2=4T_1$,then the heat supplied to the gas is $\frac{41}{6}P_1V_1$

An ideal gas at initial temperature $T_0$ and initial volume $V_0$ is expanded adiabatically to a volume $2 V_0$. The gas is then expanded isothermally to a volume $5 V_0$ and thereafter compressed adiabatically so that the temperature of the gas becomes again $T_0$. If the final volume of the gas is $\alpha V_0$,then the value of constant $\alpha$ is
