An ideal gas expands isothermally from a volume $V_1$ to $V_2$ and then is compressed to the original volume $V_1$ adiabatically. The initial pressure is $P_1$ and the final pressure is $P_3$. If the total work done is $W$,then:

$A$ cylinder made of perfectly non-conducting material,closed at both ends,is divided into two equal parts by a heat-proof piston. Both parts of the cylinder contain the same mass of a gas at a temperature $t_0 = 27^{\circ}C$ and pressure $P_0 = 1 \text{ atm}$. If the gas in one of the parts is slowly heated to $t = 57^{\circ}C$ while the temperature of the first part is maintained at $t_0$,the distance moved by the piston from the middle of the cylinder will be $x \text{ cm}$. Find $x$ (total length of the cylinder $= 84 \text{ cm}$).

$A$ 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):
$(A)$ $q_{AC} = \Delta U_{BC}$ and $W_{AB} = P_2(V_2 - V_1)$
$(B)$ $W_{BC} = P_2(V_2 - V_1)$ and $q_{BC} = H_{AC}$
$(C)$ $\Delta H_{CA} < \Delta U_{CA}$ and $q_{AC} = \Delta U_{BC}$
$(D)$ $q_{BC} = \Delta H_{AC}$ and $\Delta H_{CA} > \Delta U_{CA}$

When a system is taken from a state $i$ to $f$ along the path $iaf$ (as shown in the figure),$Q = 50 \, cal$ and $W = 20 \, cal$. Along path $ibf$,$Q = 36 \, cal$.
$(i)$ What is $W$ along path $ibf$?
$(ii)$ If $W = -13 \, cal$ for path $fi$,what is $Q$ for the path $fi$?
$(iii)$ Take $E_{int,i} = 10 \, cal$,then what is $E_{int,f}$?

An ideal gas is compressed isothermally until its pressure is doubled and then allowed to expand adiabatically to regain its original volume ($\gamma = 1.4$ and $2^{-1.4} = 0.38$). The ratio of the final to initial pressure is (in $: 1$)
