One mole of a monatomic ideal gas undergoes four thermodynamic processes as shown schematically in the -diagram below. Among these four processes, one is isobaric, one is isochoric, one is isothermal and one is adiabatic. Match the processes mentioned in List-I with the corresponding statements in List-II.
| LIST - I | LIST - II | ||
|---|---|---|---|
| P. | In process I | 1. | Work done by the gas is zero |
| Q. | In process II | 2. | Temperature of the gas remains unchanged |
| R. | In process III | 3. | No heat is exchanged between the gas and its surroundings |
| S. | In process IV | 4. | Work done by the gas is 6P0V0 |

Correct answer: C
-
Identify each process from the diagram qualitatively
In a diagram:
- Isochoric process constant vertical line
- Isobaric process constant horizontal line
- Isothermal process constant gentler falling curve
- Adiabatic process constant steeper falling curve than isothermal
-
Match the statements in List-II with thermodynamic meanings
-
Statement 1: Work done by gas is zero This happens for an isochoric process.
-
Statement 2: Temperature remains unchanged This is an isothermal process.
-
Statement 3: No heat exchanged This is an adiabatic process.
-
Statement 4: Work done by gas is For an isobaric process, so this corresponds to the horizontal line whose area under curve is .

Read the diagram-based process labels
From the given schematic:
- Process I is the adiabatic curve (steeper falling curve)
- Process II is the isobaric process
- Process III is the isochoric process
- Process IV is the isothermal curve
-
Now match them
- : Process I adiabatic
- : Process II isobaric
- : Process III isochoric
- : Process IV isothermal
Hence,
-
Correct option
This corresponds to Option C.
-
Comparison with stored answer
Stored correct answer: C
Derived answer: C
So they agree.
