Q. Which one of the following statements is true in respect of usual quantities represented by $\mathrm{\Delta}Q,\ \mathrm{\Delta}U$ and $\mathrm{\Delta}W$
A) $\mathrm{\Delta}U$ and $\mathrm{\Delta}W$ are path dependent
B) $\mathrm{\Delta}Q$ and $\mathrm{\Delta}U$ are path dependent
C) $\mathrm{\Delta}U$ does not dependent on path
D) $\mathrm{\Delta}Q$ does not depend upon path
Explanation
