One mole of a monoatomic ideal gas goes through a thermodynamic cycle,as shown in the volume versus temperature $(V-T)$ diagram. The correct statement$(s)$ is/are :
[$R$ is the gas constant]
$(1)$ Work done in this thermodynamic cycle $(1 \rightarrow 2 \rightarrow 3 \rightarrow 4 \rightarrow 1)$ is $|W| = \frac{1}{2} RT_0$
$(2)$ The ratio of heat transfer during processes $1 \rightarrow 2$ and $2 \rightarrow 3$ is $\left|\frac{Q_{1 \rightarrow 2}}{Q_{2 \rightarrow 3}}\right| = \frac{5}{3}$
$(3)$ The above thermodynamic cycle exhibits only isochoric and adiabatic processes.
$(4)$ The ratio of heat transfer during processes $1 \rightarrow 2$ and $3 \rightarrow 4$ is $\left|\frac{Q_{1 \rightarrow 2}}{Q_{3 \rightarrow 4}}\right| = \frac{1}{2}$

$A$ monoatomic gas at pressure $P$ having volume $V$ expands isothermally to a volume $3V$ and then adiabatically to a volume $81V$. The final pressure of the gas is $(\gamma = 5/3)$.

Two moles of helium gas $\left(\gamma = \frac{5}{3}\right)$ at $27^{\circ} C$ is expanded at constant pressure until its volume is doubled. Then it undergoes an adiabatic change until the temperature returns to its initial value. The work done during the adiabatic process is (universal gas constant $R = 8.3 \ J \ mol^{-1} \ K^{-1}$) (in $J$)
