Q.
In the following $p - V$ diagram figure two adiabates cut two isothermals at $T_{1}$ and $T_{2}$. The value of $V_{b}/V_{c}$ is
A) $= V_{a}/V_{d}$
B) $< V_{a}/V_{d}$
C) $> V_{a}/V_{d}$
D) Cannot say
Explanation
(a) From symmetry considerations and also from theory,
$\frac{V_{a}}{V_{d}} = \frac{V_{b}}{V_{c}}$
