Solution

The correct option is D Heat is absorbed by the gas
Initial temperature,
Ti=P0V0nR
and
Final temperature,
Tf=P02×2V0nR=P0V0nR
So, Ti=Tf
As, Ti=Tf, ΔU=0
Workdone = area under PV graph
=12×(P0+P0/2)×(2V0V0)=3P0V04


As, ΔU=0 and W>0
ΔQ>0
[ From first law of thermodynamics ]
Therefore, heat is absorbed in the process.
