Consider two containers $A$ and $B$ containing identical gases at the same pressure,volume and temperature. The gas in container $A$ is compressed to half of its original volume isothermally while the gas in container $B$ is compressed to half of its original volume adiabatically. The ratio of final pressure of gas in $B$ to that of gas in $A$ is

  • A
    $2^{\gamma-1}$
  • B
    ${\left( {\frac{1}{2}} \right)^{\gamma - 1}}$
  • C
    ${\left( {\frac{1}{{1 - \gamma }}} \right)^2}$
  • D
    ${\left( {\frac{1}{{\gamma - 1 }}} \right)^2}$

$n$ moles of a perfect gas undergo a cyclic process $ABCA$ (see figure) consisting of the following processes:
$A \rightarrow B :$ Isothermal expansion at temperature $T$ so that the volume is doubled from $V_{1}$ to $V_{2}=2V_{1}$ and pressure changes from $P_{1}$ to $P_{2}$.
$B \rightarrow C :$ Isobaric compression at pressure $P_{2}$ to initial volume $V_{1}$.
$C \rightarrow A :$ Isochoric change leading to a change of pressure from $P_{2}$ to $P_{1}$.
Total work done in the complete cycle $ABCA$ is
