An ideal gas, in initial state 1`(P_(1), V_(1), T_(1))` is cooled to a state 3`(P_(3), V_(3), T_(3))` by a process which can be represented by a straight one on the P–V graph. The same gas in a different initial state 2 `(P_(2), V_(2), T_(1))` is cooled to same final state 3 `(P_(3), V_(3), T_(3))` by a process which can also be represented by a straight line on the same P–V graph. `Q_(1)` and `Q_(2)` are heat rejected by the gas in the two processes. Which is larger `Q_(1)` or `Q_(2)`. It is given that `P_(1) gt P_(2).

Answer

`Q_(2) gt Q_(1)`
