$A$ gas is expanded from an initial state to a final state along a path on a $P-V$ diagram. The path consists of $(i)$ an isothermal expansion of work $50 J$,$(ii)$ an adiabatic expansion,and $(iii)$ an isothermal expansion of work $20 J$. If the internal energy of the gas is changed by $-30 J$,then the work done by the gas during the adiabatic expansion is: (in $J$)

The efficiency of a Carnot engine operating with a hot reservoir kept at a temperature of $1000 K$ is $0.4$. It extracts $150 J$ of heat per cycle from the hot reservoir. The work extracted from this engine is being fully used to run a heat pump which has a coefficient of performance $10$. The hot reservoir of the heat pump is at a temperature of $300 K$. Which of the following statements is/are correct:
$(A)$ Work extracted from the Carnot engine in one cycle is $60 J$.
$(B)$ Temperature of the cold reservoir of the Carnot engine is $600 K$.

$(D)$ Heat supplied to the hot reservoir of the heat pump in one cycle is $540 J$.

In the figure,a container is shown to have a movable (frictionless) piston on top. The container and the piston are made of perfectly insulating material,allowing no heat transfer between the outside and inside. The container is divided into two compartments by a rigid partition made of a thermally conducting material that allows slow heat transfer. The lower compartment is filled with $2$ moles of an ideal monatomic gas at $700 \ K$,and the upper compartment is filled with $2$ moles of an ideal diatomic gas at $400 \ K$. The heat capacities per mole are: for monatomic gas,$C_v = \frac{3}{2} R, C_p = \frac{5}{2} R$; for diatomic gas,$C_v = \frac{5}{2} R, C_p = \frac{7}{2} R$.
$1.$ Consider the partition to be rigidly fixed so that it does not move. When equilibrium is achieved,the final temperature of the gases will be:
$(A) 550 \ K$ $(B) 525 \ K$ $(C) 513 \ K$ $(D) 490 \ K$
$2.$ Now consider the partition to be free to move without friction so that the pressure of gases in both compartments is the same. Then the total work done by the gases until they achieve equilibrium will be:
$(A) 250 \ R$ $(B) 200 \ R$ $(C) 100 \ R$ $(D) -100 \ R$
Give the answer for questions $1$ and $2$.

In thermodynamics,heat and work are

An ideal gas is subjected to a cyclic process involving four thermodynamic states. The amounts of heat $(Q)$ and work $(W)$ involved in each of these states are:
$Q_1 = 6000 \ J, Q_2 = -5500 \ J, Q_3 = -3000 \ J, Q_4 = 3500 \ J$
$W_1 = 2500 \ J, W_2 = -1000 \ J, W_3 = -1200 \ J, W_4 = x \ J$
The ratio of the net work done by the gas to the total heat absorbed by the gas is $\eta$. The values of $x$ and $\eta$ respectively are:
