$A$ real gas within a closed chamber at $27^{\circ} C$ undergoes a cyclic process $A \to B \to C \to A$. For the path $A \to B$, the gas follows the equation $PV^3 = RT$. For the path $B \to C$, the process is isobaric at $P = 10 \, Pa$ from $V = 4 \, m^3$ to $V = 2 \, m^3$. For the path $C \to A$, the process is isochoric at $V = 2 \, m^3$. Given $R = 8 \, J/mol \cdot K$ and $T = 300 \, K$ (constant for path $A \to B$), the net work done in the complete cycle is (in $J$):

  • A
    $225$
  • B
    $205$
  • C
    $20$
  • D
    $-20$
