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’, b’, c’ and d’ 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_______.
