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.

Two identical samples of a gas are allowed to expand $(i)$ isothermally and $(ii)$ adiabatically. The work done is:

One mole of a monoatomic ideal gas $\left(c_{V} = \frac{3}{2} R\right)$ undergoes a cycle where it first goes isochorically from the state $\left(\frac{3}{2} P_{0}, V_{0}\right)$ to $\left(P_{0}, V_{0}\right)$,and then is isobarically contracted to the volume $\frac{1}{2} V_{0}$. It is then taken back to the initial state by a path which is a quarter ellipse on the $P-V$ diagram. The efficiency of this cycle is
