State and explain Carnot's theorem.

The $p-V$ diagram of a Carnot's engine is shown in the graph below. The engine uses $1$ mole of an ideal gas as the working substance. From the graph,the area enclosed by the $p-V$ diagram is equal to the net work done by the engine. Given that the heat supplied to the gas is $8000 \ J$,calculate the net work done by the engine. (Note: The efficiency of a Carnot engine is $\eta = 1 - \frac{T_2}{T_1} = \frac{W}{Q_1}$) (in $J$)
