Graphs below show the entropy vs energy (`U`) of two systems I and II at constant volume. The initial energies of the systems are indicated by `UI,i` and `UII,i` respectively. Graphs are drawn to the same scale. The same scale . the systems are then brought into thermal contact with each other . Assume that at all Time the combined energy of the two systems remains constant. Choose the most appropriate option indicating the energies of the two systems and the total entropy after they achieve the equilibrium.

Options

A. UI increases and UII decreases and the total entropy remains the same
B. UI decreases and UII increases and thes total entropy remains the same.
C. UI increases and UII decreases and the total entropy increases.
D. UI decreases and UII increases and the total entropy increases.

Answer

C
