When a system is taken from thermodynamic state $i$ to $f$ along the path $iaf$ (see figure),it is found that the heat $Q$ absorbed by the system is $50 \ cal$ and the work $W$ done by the system is $20 \ cal$. Along the path $ibf$,$Q = 36 \ cal$. What is the work $W$ done along the path $ibf$ (in $cal$)?

  • A
    $6$
  • B
    $18$
  • C
    $40$
  • D
    $-43$
