Work done during the cycle A B C D A = area of the rectangle A B C D =A B × A D =(2 P-P)(2 V-V) =P V

Q. An ideal monoatomic gas is taken round the cycle $A BC D A$ as shown in figure. The work done during the cycle is :

$P V$

$2 P V$

$\frac{P V}{2}$

zero

Work done during the cycle $A BC D A$
$=$ area of the rectangle $A BC D$
$= A B \times A D$
$= (2 P - P) (2 V - V)$
$= P V$

Q. An ideal monoatomic gas is taken round the cycle ABCDA as shown in figure. The work done during the cycle is :
