The figure shows the $P-V$ plot of an ideal gas taken through a cycle $ABCDA$. The part $ABC$ is a semi-circle and $CDA$ is half of an ellipse. Then,
$(A)$ the process during the path $A \rightarrow B$ is isothermal
$(B)$ heat flows out of the gas during the path $B \rightarrow C \rightarrow D$
$(C)$ work done during the path $A \rightarrow B \rightarrow C$ is zero
$(D)$ positive work is done by the gas in the cycle $ABCDA$

The cycle shown in the figure represents an engine (the engine consists of one mole of gas in a cylinder with a piston). $A$ to $B$ is isochoric,$B$ to $C$ is isothermal,$C$ to $D$ is isochoric,and $D$ to $A$ is isothermal. Also,$V_C = V_D = 2V_A = 2V_B$.
$(a)$ In which part of the cycle is heat supplied to the engine from the outside?
$(b)$ In which part of the cycle can the engine give energy to its surroundings?
$(c)$ How much work is done by the engine during one cycle? Give your answer in terms of $P_A, P_B$ and $V_A$.
$(d)$ What is the efficiency of the engine? (For the gas,$\gamma = 5/3$,and for one mole,$C_V = 3/2 R$)

Select the correct statement for work, heat, and change in internal energy.

Two cylinders $A$ and $B$ fitted with pistons contain equal amount of an ideal diatomic gas at $303 \text{ K}$. The piston of cylinder $A$ is free to move and that of cylinder $B$ is held fixed. The same amount of heat is given to the gas in each cylinder. If the rise in temperature of the gas in cylinder $B$ is $63 \text{ K}$, then the rise in temperature of the gas in $A$ is: (in $\text{ K}$)

Three samples $X, Y$,and $Z$ of the same gas have equal volumes and temperatures. The volume of each sample is doubled. The process is isothermal for $X$,adiabatic for $Y$,and isobaric for $Z$. If the final pressures are equal for the three samples,find the ratio of the initial pressures. (Take adiabatic exponent $\gamma = 3/2$)
