$A$ certain amount of gas is taken through a cyclic process $(A-B-C-D-A)$ that has two isobars, one isochore, and one isothermal process. The cycle can be represented on a $P-V$ indicator diagram as:

An ideal gas undergoes a cyclic process through various thermodynamic states. The heat energy $(Q)$ and work $(W)$ associated with these states are given as follows:
$Q_1 = 6000 \ J, Q_2 = -5500 \ J, Q_3 = -3300 \ J, Q_4 = 3500 \ J,$
$W_1 = 2500 \ J, W_2 = -1000 \ J, W_3 = -1200 \ J, W_4 = x \ J$
If the ratio of the net work done to the net heat absorbed is $\eta$, then the values of $x$ and $\eta$ are respectively:

Two cylinders $A$ and $B$ are fitted with pistons and contain equal amounts of a diatomic gas at $300 \ K$. The piston of cylinder $A$ is free to move,while the piston of cylinder $B$ is fixed. If the same amount of heat is supplied to each cylinder,the temperature of gas in $A$ increases by $30 \ K$. What is the increase in the temperature of gas in $B$ (in $K$)?
