    Work done by the system in the cycle ​= Area under P-V curve and V-axis

    =
    1
    (2P0 - P0)(2V0 - V0)-
    1
    (3P0 - 2P0)(2V0 - V0)
    22

    =
    P0V0
    -
    P0V0
    = 0

    Correct Option: D

    Work done by the system in the cycle ​= Area under P-V curve and V-axis

    =
    1
    (2P0 - P0)(2V0 - V0)-
    1

    According to first law of thermodynamics ​Q = ∆U + W
    ∆U = Q – W
    ​= 2 × 4.2 × 1000 – 500
    = 8400 – 500 ​= 7900 J

    Correct Option: C

    According to first law of thermodynamics ​Q = ∆U + W
    ∆U = Q – W
    ​= 2 × 4.2 × 1000 – 500
    = 8400 – 500 ​= 7900 J

    ∆Q = ∆U + ∆W
    ​⇒ ∆W = ∆Q  – ∆U = 110 – 40 = 70 J

    Correct Option: B

    ∆Q = ∆U + ∆W
    ​⇒ ∆W = ∆Q  – ∆U = 110 – 40 = 70 J
