An ideal gas expands isothermally from a volume and
and then compressed to original volume
adiabatically. Initial pressure is
and final pressure is
.The total work done is
Then:
Slope of adiabatic process at a given state is more than the slope of isothermal process. The corresponding
graph for the two process is as shown in figure.
In the graph, is isothermal and
is adiabatic.
positivie (as volume is increasing)
And negative (as volume is decreasing) plus,
as area under
graph gives the work done.
From the graph itself, it is clear that .
Hence, the correct option is (c).
