A system goes from A to B via two processes I and II as shown in figure. If ΔUI and ΔUII are the changes in internal energies in the processes I and II respectively, then
(1) ΔUII > ΔUI
(2) ΔUII < ΔUI
(3) ΔUI = ΔUII
(4) Relation between ΔUI and ΔUII can not be determined

\(1\) mole of rigid diatomic gas performs a work of \(\dfrac{Q}{5}\) when heat \(Q\) is supplied to it. Change in internal energy of the gas is:
| 1. | \(\dfrac{4Q}{5}\) | 2. | \(\dfrac{3Q}{5}\) |
| 3. | \(\dfrac{Q}{5}\) | 4. | \(\dfrac{2Q}{5}\) |
An ideal gas of mass m in a state A goes to another state B via three different processes as shown in figure. If Q1, Q2 and Q3 denote the heat absorbed by the gas along the three paths, then -
(1) Q1 < Q2 < Q3
(2) Q1 < Q2 = Q3
(3) Q1 = Q2 > Q3
(4) Q1 > Q2 > Q3

| II. | Internal energy will decrease. |
| III. | Work done by the system is positive. |
| IV. | Work done by the system is negative. |
| V. | Internal energy remains constant. |
