The pressure-temperature \((P\text-T)\) graph for two processes, \(A\) and \(B,\) in a system is shown in the figure. If \(W_1\) and \(W_2\) are work done by the gas in process \(A\) and \(B\) respectively, then:

      

1. \(W_{1}=W_2\) 2. \(W_{1}<W_2\)
3. \(W_{1}>W_2\) 4. \(W_{1}= - W_2\)

When a system is moved from state \(a\) to state \(b\) along the path \(acb\), it is discovered that the system absorbs \(200~\text{J}\) of heat and performs \(80~\text{J}\) of work.  Along the path \(adb\), heat absorbed \(Q =144~\text{J}\). The work done along the path \(adb\) is:

   

1. \(6~\text{J}\) 2. \(12~\text{J}\)
3. \(18~\text{J}\) 4. \(24~\text{J}\)
