  1. If Q, E and W denote respectively the heat added, change in internal energy and the work done in a closed cyclic process, then :​
    1. W = 0
    2. Q = W = 0
    3. E = 0
    4. Q = 0
Correct Option: C

In a cyclic process, the initial state coincides with the final state. Hence, the change in internal energy is zero, as it depends only on the initial and final states. But Q & W are non-zero during a cycle process.
