An ideal gas goes from state
to state
via three different processes, as indicated in the
diagram.

If
, and
indicate the heat absorbed by the gas along the three processes, and
, and
indicate the change in internal energy along the three processes, respectively, then
Text Solution
Verified by ExpertsThe correct answer is:
C
For all the paths, initial and final positions are same.
Hence
, and for path (1) area is maximum, hence
