The pressure of given mass of an ideal gas is P1 and its volume is V1 . It is compressed isothermally and then expanded adiabatically till its pressure restores to initial value P 1 and then the gas remains its initial volume V 1. The above process can be correctly represented in the following indicator diagram

On reading the graphs in the options and applying the formula Slope of curve of adiabatic process =&gamma; × Slope of curve of isothermal process thus slope of adiabatic process is more than that of isothermal process.

On reading the graphs in the options and applying the formula Slope of curve of adiabatic process =γ× Slope of curve of isothermal process thus slope of adiabatic process is more than that of isothermal process.

On reading the graphs in the options and applying the formula Slope of curve of adiabatic process $= γ \times$ Slope of curve of isothermal process thus slope of adiabatic process is more than that of isothermal process.
