Solution

We know that, at constant volume, Heat supplied, $\Delta Q_1=\Delta U=C_V \Delta T$ At constant pressure, heat supplied, $\Delta Q=C_p \Delta T=\Delta U+\Delta W$ Ratio of heat capacity at constant pressure to constant volume is $\gamma=\frac{C_p}{C_V}$ Now, $\frac{\Delta Q}{\Delta U}=\frac{C_p \Delta T}{C_V \Delta T}=\frac{C_p}{C_V}=\gamma$ Now, $\frac{\Delta Q}{\Delta W}=\frac{\Delta Q}{\Delta Q-\Delta U}$ $=\frac{C_p \Delta T}{C_p \Delta T-C_V \Delta T}$ $\begin{aligned} & =\frac{C_p}{C_p-C_V}=\frac{C_p}{C_V\left(\frac{C_p}{C_V}-1\right)} \\ & =\frac{\gamma}{\gamma-1} \end{aligned}$ For refrigerator, coefficient of performance, $\begin{aligned} \beta & =\frac{Q_2}{W}=\frac{\text { Heat absorbed from food stuff }}{\text { Electrical work done }} \\ \therefore \quad \beta & =\frac{Q_2}{Q_1-Q_2} \end{aligned}$ Coefficient of heat pump $=\frac{\text { Heat released }}{\text { Electrical work }}$ i.e. $\quad \alpha=\frac{Q_1}{W}=\frac{Q_1}{Q_1-Q_2}$ We know that, $\frac{Q_1}{Q_2}=\frac{T_1}{T_2}$ So, we get, $\beta=\frac{Q_2}{Q_1-Q_2}=\frac{\frac{Q_2}{Q_1}}{1-\frac{Q_2}{Q_1}}$ $=\frac{\frac{T_2}{T_1}}{1-\frac{T_2}{T_1}}=\frac{T_2}{T_1-T_2}$ and $\alpha=\frac{Q_1}{Q_1-Q_2}$ $=\frac{\frac{Q_1}{Q_2}}{\frac{Q_1}{Q_2}-1}=\frac{\frac{T_1}{T_2}}{\frac{T_1}{T_2}-1}$ $=\frac{T_1}{T_1-T_2}$ Hence, we get the best match as given by $\mathrm{A} \rightarrow 4, \mathrm{~B} \rightarrow 3, \mathrm{C} \rightarrow 2$ and $\mathrm{D} \rightarrow 1$.
