The specific heat of hydrogen gas at constant pressure is $C_P = 3.4 \times 10^3 \text{ cal/kg } ^oC$ and at constant volume is $C_V = 2.4 \times 10^3 \text{ cal/kg } ^oC$. If $1 \text{ kg}$ of hydrogen gas is heated from $10^oC$ to $20^oC$ at constant pressure,the external work done by the gas is:

Read the following statements:
$A.$ When the small temperature difference between a liquid and its surroundings is doubled,the rate of loss of heat of the liquid becomes twice.
$B.$ Two bodies $P$ and $Q$ having equal surface areas are maintained at temperatures $10^{\circ}C$ and $20^{\circ}C$. The thermal radiation emitted in a given time by $P$ and $Q$ are in the ratio $1:1.15$.
$C.$ $A$ Carnot engine working between $100 K$ and $400 K$ has an efficiency of $75\%$.
$D.$ When the small temperature difference between a liquid and its surroundings is quadrupled,the rate of loss of heat of the liquid becomes twice.
Choose the correct answer from the options given below:

$A$ monoatomic gas at pressure $P$ having volume $V$ expands isothermally to a volume $3V$ and then adiabatically to a volume $81V$. The final pressure of the gas is $(\gamma = 5/3)$.

An ideal monatomic gas of $n$ moles is taken through a cycle $W-X-Y-Z-W$ consisting of consecutive adiabatic and isobaric quasi-static processes,as shown in the schematic $V-T$ diagram. The volumes of the gas at $W, X,$ and $Y$ points are $64 \ cm^3, 125 \ cm^3,$ and $250 \ cm^3,$ respectively. If the absolute temperature of the gas $T_W$ at point $W$ is such that $nRT_W = 1 \ J$ ($R$ is the universal gas constant),then the amount of heat absorbed (in $J$) by the gas along the path $XY$ is $.....$

If $R$ is the universal gas constant,the amount of heat needed to raise the temperature of $2$ moles of an ideal monoatomic gas from $273 \ K$ to $373 \ K$ when no work is done is equal to ...... $R$.
