If one mole of an ideal gas at 
is allowed to expand reversibly and isothermally ( 
to 
) its pressure is reduced to one-half of the original pressure (see figure). This is followed by a constant volume cooling till its pressure is reduced to one-fourth of the initial value 
. Then it is restored to its initial state by a reversible adiabatic compression ( 
to 
). The net workdone by the gas is equal to:
