An ideal gas is made to undergo a cycle depicted by the $p-V$ diagram given below. The curved line from $A$ to $B$ is an adiabat. Then,

  • A
    the efficiency of this cycle is given by unity as no heat is released during the cycle
  • B
    heat is absorbed in the upper part of the straight line path and released in the lower part
  • C
    if $T_1$ and $T_2$ are the maximum and minimum temperatures reached during the cycle,then the efficiency is given by $1-\frac{T_2}{T_1}$
  • D
    the cycle can only be carried out in the reverse of the direction shown in the above figure
