Q. A thermodynamic system is taken from state $A$ to $B$ along $ACB$ and is brought back to $A$ along $BDA$ as shown in the $PV$ diagram. The net work done during the complete cycle is given by the area
A) $P_{1}ACBP_{2}P_{1}$
B) $ACBB'A'A$
C) $ACBDA$
D) $ADBB'A'A$
Explanation
(c) The work done in cyclic process is equal to the area enclosed by the $PV$ diagram
