When a system is taken from state ‘a′ to state ‘b′ along the path ‘acb′, it is found that a quantity of heat Q=200 J is absorbed by the system and a work W=80 J is done by it. Along the path ‘adb′,Q=144J. The work done along the path ‘adb′ is

Solution
The correct option is D24 J AS internal energy is state variable ΔU is same for both process acb and adb First law of thermodynamics for process acb gives ΔUab=ΔQacb−ΔWacb=200−80=120 J First law of thermodynamics for process adb gives ΔWadb=ΔQadb−ΔUab =144−120=24 J
