The initial state of a certain gas is $(P_i, V_i, T_i)$. It undergoes expansion until its volume becomes $V_f$. Consider the following two cases:
$(a)$ The expansion takes place at constant temperature.
$(b)$ The expansion takes place at constant pressure.
Plot the $P-V$ diagram for each case. In which of the two cases is the work done by the gas more?

Match the List-$I$ with List-$II$:
List-$I$ List-$II$
$A$. Pressure varies inversely with volume of an ideal gas. $I$. Adiabatic process
$B$. Heat absorbed goes partly to increase internal energy and partly to do work. $II$. Isochoric process
$C$. Heat is neither absorbed nor released by a system. $III$. Isothermal process
$D$. No work is done on or by a gas. $IV$. Isobaric process

The slopes of the isothermal and adiabatic $p-V$ graphs of a gas are $S_I$ and $S_A$ respectively. If the heat capacity ratio of the gas is $\frac{3}{2}$,then $\frac{S_I}{S_A}=$

Match List-$I$ with List-$II$.
