The internal energy of an ideal diatomic gas corresponding to volume $V$ and pressure $P$ is $2.5 PV$. The gas expands from $1 \text{ litre}$ to $2 \text{ litre}$ at a constant pressure of $10^5 \text{ N/m}^2$. The heat supplied to the gas is: (in $\text{ J}$)

One mole of an ideal gas undergoes two different cyclic processes $I$ and $II$,as shown in the $P-V$ diagrams below. In cycle $I$,processes $a, b, c$ and $d$ are isobaric,isothermal,isobaric and isochoric,respectively. In cycle $II$,processes $a^{\prime}, b^{\prime}, c^{\prime}$ and $d^{\prime}$ are isothermal,isochoric,isobaric and isochoric,respectively. The total work done during cycle $I$ is $W_I$ and that during cycle $II$ is $W_{II}$. The ratio $W_I / W_{II}$ is . . . .

One mole of an ideal diatomic gas expands from volume $V$ to $2V$ isothermally at a temperature $27^{\circ} C$ and does $W$ joule of work. If the gas undergoes the same magnitude of expansion adiabatically from $27^{\circ} C$ doing the same amount of work $W$, then its final temperature will be (close to) . . . . . . ${ }^{\circ} C$.

Match the following lists.
List-$I$List-$II$
$A$. Zeroth law of thermodynamics$I$. Direction of flow of heat
$B$. First law of thermodynamics$II$. Work done is zero
$C$. Free expansion of a gas$III$. Thermal equilibrium
$D$. Second law of thermodynamics$IV$. Law of conservation of energy

The correct answer is:

$A$ thermodynamic cycle takes in heat energy at a high temperature and rejects energy at a lower temperature. If the amount of energy rejected at the low temperature is $3$ times the amount of work done by the cycle,the efficiency of the cycle is
