Q. An ideal gas undergoes a four step cycle as shown in the $P - V$ diagram below. During this cycle, heat is absorbed by the gas in

steps 1 and 2

steps 1 and 3

steps 1 and 4

steps 2 and 4

$Δ Q_{1} = n C_{p} Δ T > 0$
$Δ Q_{2} = n C_{V} Δ T < 0$
$Δ Q_{3} = n C_{p} Δ T < 0$
$Δ Q_{4} = n C_{V} Δ T > 0$
