<img class="img-fluid question-image" alt="Solution" src="https://cdn.tardigrade.in/q/nta/p-vvkawbsib3xbrkwa.jpg" /> Area under pressure-volume curve gives work done by the system. For the given process, pressure first decreases and then increases but work done by the system continuously increases as area under the curve continuously increases.

Q. Consider the process on a system shown in the figure. During the process, work done by the system

Continuously increases

Continuously decreases

First increases then decreases

First decreases then increases

Area under pressure-volume curve gives work done by the system. For the given process, pressure first decreases and then increases but work done by the system continuously increases as area under the curve continuously increases.
