In the reported figure, there is a cyclic process $A B C D A$ on a sample of $1$ mol of a diatomic gas. The temperature of the gas during the process $A \to B$ and $C \to D$ are $T_{1}$ and $T_{2} (T_{1} > T_{2})$ respectively.
Choose the correct option out of the following for work done if processes $B C$ and $D A$ are adiabatic.

Question

In the reported figure, there is a cyclic process $A B C D A$ on a sample of $1$ mol of a diatomic gas. The temperature of the gas during the process $A \to B$ and $C \to D$ are $T_{1}$ and $T_{2} (T_{1} > T_{2})$ respectively.

Choose the correct option out of the following for work done if processes $B C$ and $D A$ are adiabatic.

Work done in adiabatic process = - n R &#947; - 1 &#160; T f - T i &#8756; &#160; W A D = - n R &#947; - 1 &#160; T 2 - T 1 and W B C = - n R &#947; - 1 &#160; T 2 - T 1 &#8756; &#160; W A D = W B C
