Two identical samples of a gas are allowed to expand (i) isothermally (ii) adiabatically. The magnitude of work done is

The correct option is A More in the isothermal process
In thermodynamic processes,
work done = Area covered under $P V$ curve
As the curve of isothermal lies above the adiabatic curve it is clear that $(A r e a)_{i s o} > (A r e a)_{a d i} s o, W_{i s o} > W_{a d i}$
