An ideal gas expands isothermally from volume `V_(1)" to "V_(2)` and then it is adiabatically compressed back to its original volume `V_(1)`. The initial and final pressures of the gas are `p_(1) and p_(3)` respectively and the net work done by the gas is W, then

A

`P_(3) gt P_(1), Wgt0`

B

`P_(3) lt P_(1), W lt 0`

C

`P_(3) gt P_(1), W lt 0`

D
