In an adiabatic process, no transfer of heat takes place between system and surroundings. Choose the correct option for free expansion of an ideal gas under adiabatic condition from the following.

In changing the state of a gas adiabatically from an equilibrium state A to another equilibrium state B, an amount of work equal to 22.3 J is done on the system. If the gas is taken from state A to B via a process in which the net heat absorbed by the system is 9.35 cal, how much is the net work done by the system in the latter case ? (Take 1 cal = 4.19 J)

The working substance in a Carnot's heat engine absorbs 5xx10^(6)J of heat from the source and reject 2xx10^(6)J of heat of the sink. Calculate the (i) heat converted into work and (ii) efficiency of the engine.
