$1.$ The change in internal energy $\Delta U = 0$ in a cyclic process.
$2.$ In an adiabatic process,temperature remains constant.
$3.$ The internal energy of a system during an isothermal process decreases.

(A) $1.$ True. In a cyclic process,the system returns to its initial state,so the change in state functions like internal energy is zero $(\Delta U = 0)$.
$2.$ False. In an adiabatic process,there is no exchange of heat $(Q = 0)$,but the temperature of the system changes as work is done.
$3.$ False. In an isothermal process,the temperature remains constant. Since internal energy of an ideal gas depends only on temperature,$\Delta U = 0$ for an isothermal process.

$A$ monoatomic gas of pressure $P$ having volume $V$ expands isothermally to a volume $2V$ and then adiabatically to a volume $16V$. The final pressure of the gas is (ratio of specific heats $\gamma = \frac{5}{3}$)

Given below are two statements. One is labelled as Assertion $(A)$ and the other is labelled as Reason $(R)$.
Assertion $(A) :$ With the increase in the pressure of an ideal gas,the volume falls off more rapidly in an isothermal process in comparison to the adiabatic process.
Reason $(R) :$ In isothermal process,$PV =$ constant,while in adiabatic process $PV^\gamma =$ constant. Here $\gamma$ is the ratio of specific heats,$P$ is the pressure and $V$ is the volume of the ideal gas. In the light of the above statements,choose the correct answer from the options given below $:$

The efficiency of a heat engine is $\eta$ and the coefficient of performance of a refrigerator is $\beta$. Then:

When $Q_1$ amount of heat is supplied to a monatomic gas,the work done by the gas is $W$. When $Q_2$ amount of heat is supplied to a diatomic gas,the work done by the gas is $2W$. Then $Q_1: Q_2=$

What is the specific heat of a gas in an isothermal process and an adiabatic process?
