For an ideal gas with initial pressure and volume $p_{i}$ and $V_{i}$ respectively, a reversible isothermal expansion occurs until its volume becomes $V_{0}$. Then, it is compressed to its original volume $V_{i}$ by a reversible adiabatic process. If the final pressure is $p_{f}$, then which of the following statement(s) is/are true?

  • A
    $p_{f}=p_{i}$
  • B
    $p_{f} > p_{i}$
  • C
    $p_{f} < p_{i}$
  • D
    $\frac{p_{f}}{V_{0}}=\frac{p_{i}}{V_{i}}$

One mole of a monoatomic ideal gas $\left(c_{V} = \frac{3}{2} R\right)$ undergoes a cycle where it first goes isochorically from the state $\left(\frac{3}{2} P_{0}, V_{0}\right)$ to $\left(P_{0}, V_{0}\right)$,and then is isobarically contracted to the volume $\frac{1}{2} V_{0}$. It is then taken back to the initial state by a path which is a quarter ellipse on the $P-V$ diagram. The efficiency of this cycle is

$A$ reversible cyclic process for an ideal gas is shown below. Here,$P, V$,and $T$ are pressure,volume,and temperature,respectively. The thermodynamic parameters $q, w, H$,and $U$ are heat,work,enthalpy,and internal energy,respectively.
The correct option$(s)$ is (are):
$(A)$ $q_{AC} = \Delta U_{AC}$ and $W_{AB} = 0$
$(B)$ $W_{BC} = P_2(V_1 - V_2)$ and $q_{BC} = \Delta H_{BC}$
