$A$ given amount of gas has an initial state $(P_i, V_i, T_i)$. It expands until its volume becomes $V_f$. Consider the following two cases:
$(a)$ The expansion occurs at constant temperature (isothermal).
$(b)$ The expansion occurs at constant pressure (isobaric).
Draw the $P-V$ diagram for each case. In which of the two cases is the work done by the gas greater?

An ideal gas goes through a reversible cycle $a \to b \to c \to d$ and has the $V - T$ diagram shown below. Processes $d \to a$ and $b \to c$ are adiabatic. The corresponding $P - V$ diagram for the process is (all figures are schematic and not drawn to scale):
