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

  • A
    $\frac{1}{\pi}$
  • B
    $\frac{\pi}{16+\pi}$
  • C
    $\frac{\pi}{32+\pi}$
  • D
    $\frac{2\pi}{32+\pi}$

Two identical adiabatic vessels are filled with oxygen at pressure $P_1$ and $P_2$ $(P_1 > P_2)$. The vessels are interconnected with each other by a non-conducting pipe. If $U_{01}$ and $U_{02}$ denote the initial internal energy of oxygen in the first and second vessel respectively,and $U_{f1}$ and $U_{f2}$ denote the final internal energy values,then:

Starting at temperature $300 \; K,$ one mole of an ideal diatomic gas $(\gamma=1.4)$ is first compressed adiabatically from volume $V_{1}$ to $V_{2}=\frac{V_{1}}{16}.$ It is then allowed to expand isobarically to volume $2V_{2}.$ If all the processes are quasi-static,then the final temperature of the gas (in $K$) is (to the nearest integer):
