    Work done by diatomic gas is more than that by monoatomic gas
  • B
    Work done by monoatomic gas is more than that by diatomic gas
  • C

Three samples $X, Y$,and $Z$ of the same gas have equal volumes and temperatures. The volume of each sample is doubled. The process is isothermal for $X$,adiabatic for $Y$,and isobaric for $Z$. If the final pressures are equal for the three samples,find the ratio of the initial pressures. (Take adiabatic exponent $\gamma = 3/2$)

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 $600 K$.
