Given below are two statements. One is labelled as Assertion $(A)$ and the other is labelled as Reason $(R)$.
Assertion $(A) :$ With the increase in the pressure of an ideal gas,the volume falls off more rapidly in an isothermal process in comparison to the adiabatic process.
Reason $(R) :$ In isothermal process,$PV =$ constant,while in adiabatic process $PV^\gamma =$ constant. Here $\gamma$ is the ratio of specific heats,$P$ is the pressure and $V$ is the volume of the ideal gas. In the light of the above statements,choose the correct answer from the options given below $:$

  • A
    Both $(A)$ and $(R)$ are true but $(R)$ is $\text{NOT}$ the correct explanation of $(A)$.
  • B
    $(A)$ is true but $(R)$ is false.
  • C
    Both $(A)$ and $(R)$ are true and $(R)$ is the correct explanation of $(A)$.
  • D
    $(A)$ is false but $(R)$ is true.

Consider an engine that absorbs $130 \text{ cal}$ of heat from a hot reservoir and delivers $30 \text{ cal}$ of heat to a cold reservoir in each cycle. The engine also consumes $2 \text{ J}$ of energy in each cycle to overcome friction. If the engine works at $90 \text{ cycles per minute}$, what will be the maximum power delivered to the load (in $\text{ W}$)? [Assume the thermal equivalent of heat is $4.2 \text{ J/cal}$]

An ideal gas undergoes a cyclic thermodynamic process in different ways as shown in the corresponding $P-V$ diagrams in column $3$ of the table. Consider only the path from state $1$ to $2$. $W$ denotes the corresponding work done on the system. The equations and plots in the table have standard notations as used in thermodynamic processes. Here $\gamma$ is the ratio of heat capacities at constant pressure and constant volume. The number of moles in the gas is $n$.

$A$ thermodynamic system undergoes a cyclic process through four stages. The energy values involved during this process are $Q_1 = 600 \ J, Q_2 = -400 \ J, Q_3 = -300 \ J$,and $Q_4 = 200 \ J$. The work values are $W_1 = 300 \ J, W_2 = -200 \ J, W_3 = -150 \ J$,and $W_4$. Find the value of $W_4$ in $J$.

An ideal gas with pressure $P$,volume $V$ and temperature $T$ is expanded isothermally to a volume $2V$ and a final pressure $P_i$. The same gas is expanded adiabatically to a volume $2V$,the final pressure is $P_a$. In terms of the ratio of the two specific heats for the gas $\gamma$,the ratio $\frac{P_i}{P_a}$ is
