Two containers $A$ and $B$ contain equal volumes of an identical gas at the same pressure and temperature. The gas in container $A$ is compressed to half its original volume isothermally,while the gas in container $B$ is compressed to half its original volume adiabatically. The ratio of the final pressure of gas in container $B$ to that of gas in container $A$ is

  • A
    $(2)^{\gamma-1}$
  • B
    $\left(\frac{1}{2}\right)^{\gamma-1}$
  • C
    $\left(\frac{1}{1-\gamma}\right)^2$
  • D
    $\left(\frac{1}{\gamma-1}\right)^2$

$A$ thermodynamic cycle takes in heat energy at a high temperature and rejects energy at a lower temperature. If the amount of energy rejected at the low temperature is $3$ times the amount of work done by the cycle,the efficiency of the cycle is

Three moles of an ideal gas $\left( {{C_P} = \frac{7}{2}R} \right)$ at pressure ${P_A}$ and temperature ${T_A}$ is isothermally expanded to twice its initial volume. It is then compressed at constant pressure to its original volume. Finally, the gas is compressed at constant volume to its original pressure ${P_A}.$ The correct $P-V$ and $P-T$ diagrams indicating the process are
