(A) The first law of thermodynamics is given by $\Delta Q = \Delta U + \Delta W$.
$(a)$ For an adiabatic process,there is no heat exchange with the surroundings,so $\Delta Q = 0$. Substituting this into the first law: $0 = \Delta U + \Delta W$,which implies $\Delta U = -\Delta W$. Thus,$(a)$ matches $(iii)$.
$(b)$ For an isothermal process,the temperature remains constant,which implies the change in internal energy $\Delta U = 0$. Substituting this into the first law: $\Delta Q = 0 + \Delta W$,which implies $\Delta Q = \Delta W$. Thus,$(b)$ matches $(ii)$.
Therefore,the correct matching is $(a-iii), (b-ii)$.

The figure shows the $P-V$ diagram of a thermodynamic cycle. Which corresponding curve is correct?

$A$ given mass of a gas is compressed isothermally until its pressure is doubled. It is then allowed to expand adiabatically until its original volume is restored and its pressure is then found to be $0.75$ of its initial pressure. The ratio of the specific heats of the gas is approximately:
