(N/A) $1.$ The heat required to raise the temperature of a body by $1\,K$ is defined as its thermal capacity.
$2.$ The relation between temperature differences is $\Delta T_F = \frac{9}{5} \Delta T_C$. Given $\Delta T_C = 10\,^{\circ}C$,then $\Delta T_F = \frac{9}{5} \times 10 = 18\,^{\circ}F$.
$3.$ For an isothermal process,$PV = \text{constant}$. Differentiating both sides,we get $P dV + V dP = 0$. Rearranging gives $V dP = -P dV$,which simplifies to $\frac{dP}{P} = -\frac{dV}{V}$.

An ideal gas is compressed isothermally until its pressure is doubled and then allowed to expand adiabatically to regain its original volume ($\gamma = 1.4$ and $2^{-1.4} = 0.38$). The ratio of the final to initial pressure is (in $: 1$)

Choose the incorrect statement from the following:
$S1$: The efficiency of a heat engine can be $1$,but the coefficient of performance of a refrigerator can never be infinity.
$S2$: The first law of thermodynamics is basically the principle of conservation of energy.
$S3$: The second law of thermodynamics does not allow several phenomena consistent with the first law.
$S4$: $A$ process,whose sole result is the transfer of heat from a colder to a hotter object,is impossible.

An ideal monoatomic gas with pressure $P$, volume $V$ and temperature $T$ is expanded isothermally to a volume $2V$ and a final pressure $P_i$. If the same gas is expanded adiabatically to a volume $2V$, the final pressure is $P_a$. The ratio $\frac{P_a}{P_i}$ is
