Given below are two statements:
Statement-$I$: When $\mu$ amount of an ideal gas undergoes adiabatic change from state $(P_1, V_1, T_1)$ to state $(P_2, V_2, T_2)$,the work done is $W = \frac{\mu R(T_2 - T_1)}{1 - \gamma}$,where $\gamma = \frac{C_P}{C_V}$ and $R$ is the universal gas constant.
Statement-$II$: In the above case,when work is done on the gas,the temperature of the gas would rise.
