Question

Three different processes that can occur in an ideal monoatomic gas are shown in the P vs V diagram. The paths are labelled as A $ \to $ B, A $ \to $ C and A $ \to $ D. The change in internal energies during these process are taken as E_AB, E_AC and E_AD and the work done as W_AB, W_AC and W_AD.
The correct relation between these parameters are :

E_AB < E_AC < E_AD, W_AB > 0, W_AC > W_AD

E_AB = E_AC = E_AD, W_AB > 0, W_AC = 0, W_AD < 0

E_AB > E_AC > E_AD, W_AB < W_AC < W_AD

E_AB = E_AC < E_AD, W_AB > 0, W_AC = 0, W_AD < 0
