Two cylinders $A$ and $B$ fitted with pistons contain equal amounts of an ideal diatomic gas at $300 \ K$. The piston of $A$ is free to move,while that of $B$ is held fixed. The same amount of heat is given to the gas in each cylinder. If the rise in temperature of the gas in $A$ is $30 \ K$,then the rise in temperature of the gas in $B$ is ..... $K$.

$A$ cyclic process is shown in the $p-v$ diagram. Which of the following statement$(s)$ is/are true?

In changing the state of a gas adiabatically from an equilibrium state $A$ to another equilibrium state $B$,an amount of work equal to $22.3 \; J$ is done on the system. If the gas is taken from state $A$ to $B$ via a process in which the net heat absorbed by the system is $9.35 \; cal$,how much is the net work done (in $J$) by the system in the latter case? (Take $1 \; cal = 4.19 \; J$)
