In a Carnot engine, the temperature of reservoir is 927°C and that of sink is 27°C. If the work done by the engine when it transfers heat from reservoir to sink is 12.6 x 10⁶ J, the quantity of heat absorbed by the engine from the reservoir is

• 16.8 × 10⁶ J

• 4 × 10⁶ J

• 7.6 × 10⁶ J

• 4.25 × 10⁶ J

In the given p-V diagram, I is the initial state and F is the final state.

The gas goes from I to F by

(i) IAF      (ii) IBF          (iii) ICF

The heat absorbed by gas is

• the same in all three processes

• the same in (i) and (ii)

• greater in (i) than in (ii)

• the same in (i) and (iii)

The p-V diagram of a gas undergoing a cyclic process (ABCDA) is shown in the graph where p is in units of Nm and V in cm. Identify the incorrect statement.

• 0.4 J of work is done by the gas from A to B.

• 0.2 J of work is done on the gas from C and D.

• Work is done by the gas in going from B to Cand on the gas from D to A.

• Net work done by the gas in one cycle is 0.2 J.

A closed gas cylinder is divided into two parts by a piston held tight. The pressure and volume of gas in two parts respectively are (p, 5V) and (l0p, V). If now the piston is left free and the system undergoes isthermal process, then the volume of the gas in two parts respectively are 

• $\frac{10}{11} \mathrm{V}, \frac{20}{11} \mathrm{V}$

• 3 V, 3 V

• 5 V, V

• 4 V, 2 V
