(i) An adiabatic cylinder contains an ideal gas. It is fitted with a freely movable insulating piston. In one experiment the piston is pulled out very fast to double the volume of the gas.

In an experiment ‘A’ the gas is allowed to perform a work W (gt 0) on the surrounding during an isobaric process and thereafter the pressure of the gas is reduced isochorically to half the initial value. At the end of the experiment the temperature of the gas is T_(A) .
