In the process A → B, V is proportional to T. Hence pressure P remains constant. Therefore, heat energy absorbed in this process is \mathrm{\left(\because C_p=7 R / 2 \text { for a diatomic gas }\right)}

\mathrm{\begin{aligned} & (Q)_{A \rightarrow B}=n C_p \Delta T=n \times \frac{7 R}{2} \times\left(2 T_0-T_0\right) \\ & =\frac{7}{2} n R T_0 \end{aligned}}

Process B → C is isothermal in which the gas is compressed. Hence, work done on the
gas in this process is

\mathrm{\begin{aligned} & =-2 n R T_0 \ln \left(\frac{1}{2}\right) \\ & =2 n R T_0 \ln (2) \\ & \therefore \frac{(Q)_{A \rightarrow B}}{(W)_{B \rightarrow C}}=\frac{7}{4 \ln (2)}, \text { Which is choice (a) } \end{aligned}}
