Solution

The correct option is D. $W = - 2 P_{0} V_{0} l n 2$ .

The process A--->B and C--->D are isobaric where as the process B---->C is isothermal.
Work done along AB:
$W_{A B} = - P_{e x t} (V_{2} - V_{1}) = - P_{0} (2 V_{0} - V_{0}) = - P_{0} V_{0}$
Work done along BC:
$W_{B C} = - n R T l n (\frac{V_{2}}{V_{1}} = - n R T l n (\frac{4 V_{0}}{2 V_{0}}) = - n R T l n (2)$
Work done along CD:
$W_{C D} = - P_{e x t} (V_{2} - V_{1}) = - P (2 V_{0} - 4 V_{0}) = 2 P V_{0}$
as BC is an isothermal process, from B→C there is increase in volume by two times so the pressure will be half of original
So, $P = \frac{P_{0}}{2}$
$∴ W_{C D} = P_{0} V_{0}$
The total work done along the path $A B C D$ is
$W = W_{A B} + W_{B C} + W_{C D}$
$W = - P_{0} V_{0} - n R T l n (2) + P_{0} V_{0}$
$W = - P_{0} V_{0} - 2 P_{0} V_{0} l n (2) + P_{0} V_{0}$
(As the process BC is an isothermal process, then at point B, $2 P_{0} V_{0} = n R T)$
$W = - 2 P_{0} V_{0} l n 2$ .
