Solution

The correct option is A 150 calories

The first law of thermodynamics can be given by ΔU = q + w

When q is positive, it is the heat added to the system.

When q is negative, it is the heat taken from the system.

When w is positive, it is the work done on the system.

When w is negative, it is the work done by the system.

Heat added to the system q = 100 calories

Work done on the system w = 50 calories

ΔU = q + w = 100 + 50 = 150 calories
