$A$ 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 $\Delta H_{CA} > \Delta U_{CA}$

Two cylinders of equal size are filled with an equal amount of ideal diatomic gas at room temperature. Both cylinders are fitted with pistons. In cylinder $A$,the piston is free to move (isobaric process),while in cylinder $B$,the piston is fixed (isochoric process). When the same amount of heat is supplied to both cylinders,the temperature of the gas in cylinder $A$ rises by $30\, K$. What will be the rise in temperature of the gas in cylinder $B$ (in $;K$)?

The $P-V$ diagram shown represents the thermodynamic cycle of an engine operating with an ideal monatomic gas. The amount of heat extracted from the source in a single cycle is:

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 $: 1$)

The change in internal energy of a given mass of a gas,when its volume changes from $V$ to $3V$ at constant pressure $P$,is (where $\gamma$ is the ratio of the specific heat capacities of the gas).
