Arrange the following in order of magnitude of work done by the system / on the system at constant temperature:
$(a)$ $|w_{reversible}|$ for expansion in infinite stage.
$(b)$ $|w_{irreversible}|$ for expansion in single stage.
$(c)$ $|w_{reversible}|$ for compression in infinite stage.
$(d)$ $|w_{irreversible}|$ for compression in single stage.
Choose the correct answer from the options given below:

  • A
    $a > b > c > d$
  • B
    $d > c = a > b$
  • C
    $c = a > d > b$
  • D
    $a > c > b > d$
