An ideal gas after going through a series of four thermodynamic states in order, reaches the initial state against (cyclic process). The amounts of heat and work involved in these states are

The ratio of net work done by the gas to the total heat absorbed by the gas is
. The value of
and
are nearly
Text Solution
Verified by ExpertsThe correct answer is:
B

Total work done by ideal gas i.e.,

For cyclic process,

So, from first law of thermodynamics,
i.e,
We have,
i.e., 
Efficiency of a cycle is defined as
