Four curves `A, B, C` and `D` are drawn in Fig. for a given amount of gas. The curves which represent adabatic and isothermal changes

A

`C` and `D`, respectively

B

`D` and` C`, respectively

C

`A` and `B`, respectively

D

`B` and `A`, respectively

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
C

c. As we know that slopesof isothermal and adiabatic curves are always negative and slopes of adiabatic curve is always greater than of isothermal curve, in the given graph curves `A` and `B` represent adiabatic and isothermal changes, resspectively.
