If one mole of an ideal gas at (P1, V1) is allowed to expand reversibly and isothermally (A to B) its pressure is reduced to one-half of the original pressure (see figure). This is followed by a constant volume cooling till its pressure is reduced to one-fourth of the initial value (B C). Then it is restored to its initial state by a reversible adiabatic compression (C to A). The net workdone by the gas is equal to : 

- A
- B
- C
- D
