Solution:

As can be seen from figure,
Solution
$\text{W}_{\text{BCOB}} = - \text{area of} \Delta \text{BCO} = - \frac{\text{P}_{0} \text{V}_{0}}{2}$
$\text{W}_{\text{AODA}} = + \text{area of} \Delta \text{AOD} = + \frac{\text{P}_{0} \text{V}_{0}}{2}$
$\therefore \text{W}_{\text{net}} = \text{W}_{\text{BCOB}} + \text{W}_{\text{AODA}} = - \frac{\text{P}_{0} \text{V}_{0}}{2} + \frac{\text{P}_{0} \text{V}_{0}}{2} = \text{zero}$
