Written solution
Step 1: Analyze the process .
This is an isobaric process at constant pressure , where the temperature increases from to .
For of a monatomic ideal gas, the change in internal energy is:
This matches quantity (Q) with value (3).
The work done in this process is:
Step 2: Analyze the process .
This is an isothermal process at temperature , where the pressure increases from to .
Since the temperature is constant, the change in internal energy is:
By the First Law of Thermodynamics, the heat given to the gas is:
This matches quantity (R) with value (5).
Step 3: Analyze the process .
This is an isobaric process at constant pressure , where the temperature decreases from to .
The work done in this process is:
Step 4: Analyze the process .
This is an isothermal process at temperature , where the pressure decreases from to .
Since the temperature is constant, the change in internal energy is:
This matches quantity (S) with value (2).
The work done in this process is:
Step 5: Calculate the total work done in the cyclic process.
Sum the work done in each of the four steps:
This matches quantity (P) with value (4).
Answer: The correct matching is (P) (4), (Q) (3), (R) (5), (S) (2).
