Using the given $\mathrm{P}-\mathrm{V}$ diagram, the work done by an ideal gas along the path ABCD is :
Using the given $\mathrm{P}-\mathrm{V}$ diagram, the work done by an ideal gas along the path ABCD is :
$3 \mathrm{P}_0 \mathrm{~V}_0$
$-4 \mathrm{P}_0 \mathrm{~V}_0$
$-3 \mathrm{P}_0 \mathrm{~V}_0$
$4 \mathrm{P}_0 \mathrm{~V}_0$
Solution
Area under graph will be magnitude of graph and being counterclockwise graph it would be negative $\begin{aligned} & \text { Area }=2 P_0 \times V_0+P_0 V_0=3 P_0 V_0 \\
& \mathrm{~W}=-3 P_0 V_0 \end{aligned}$
