One mole of an ideal gas undergoes two different cyclic processes $I$ and $II$,as shown in the $P-V$ diagrams below. In cycle $I$,processes $a, b, c$ and $d$ are isobaric,isothermal,isobaric and isochoric,respectively. In cycle $II$,processes $a^{\prime}, b^{\prime}, c^{\prime}$ and $d^{\prime}$ are isothermal,isochoric,isobaric and isochoric,respectively. The total work done during cycle $I$ is $W_I$ and that during cycle $II$ is $W_{II}$. The ratio $W_I / W_{II}$ is . . . .

Which one of the following options is correct?

An ideal gas expands isothermally from volume $V_1$ to volume $V_2$. It is then compressed to the original volume $V_1$ adiabatically. If $p_1$ and $p_2$ represent the initial pressure and final pressure respectively, and $W$ represents the net work done by the gas during the entire process, then:

$A$ small particle of mass $m$ moving inside a heavy, hollow and straight tube along the tube axis undergoes elastic collision at two ends. The tube has no friction and it is closed at one end by a flat surface while the other end is fitted with a heavy movable flat piston as shown in the figure. When the distance of the piston from the closed end is $L = L_0$, the particle speed is $v = v_0$. The piston is moved inward at a very low speed $V$ such that $V \ll \frac{dL}{L} v_0$, where $dL$ is the infinitely small displacement of the piston. Which of the following statement(s) is/are correct?
$(1)$ The rate at which the particle strikes the piston is $v / (2L)$
$(2)$ After each collision with the piston, the particle speed increases by $2V$
$(3)$ The particle's kinetic energy increases by a factor of $4$ when the piston is moved inward from $L_0$ to $L_0 / 2$
$(4)$ If the piston moves inward by $dL$, the particle speed increases by $v \frac{dL}{L}$
