Solution
The correct option is A Positive The process AB is isochoric and hence work done is zero. In the process BC volume increases and therefore work done in negative. In process CA volume decreases and hence work is positive. Now, since area under AC > BC more work is done during compression and hence work done on the system in the overall cyclic process is positive.
