An ideal gas is subjected to a cyclic process involving four thermodynamic states. The amounts of heat $(Q)$ and work $(W)$ involved in each of these states are:
$Q_1 = 6000 \ J, Q_2 = -5500 \ J, Q_3 = -3000 \ J, Q_4 = 3500 \ J$
$W_1 = 2500 \ J, W_2 = -1000 \ J, W_3 = -1200 \ J, W_4 = x \ J$
The ratio of the net work done by the gas to the total heat absorbed by the gas is $\eta$. The values of $x$ and $\eta$ respectively are:
