JEE Main 7 April 2025, Shift 1, Physics Q48

Question 48 of 75 in this shift, Physics question 23 of 25, Section B.

An ideal gas has undergone through the cyclic process as shown in the figure. Work done by the gas in the entire cycle is _______ ×10−1\times 10^{-1} J. (Take π=3.14\pi = 3.14)

The figure, in words

P-V diagram with P (kPa) on the horizontal axis (marks 300, 400, 500) and V (cm^3) on the vertical axis (marks 150, 250, 350); the cycle is a circle centred at (400 kPa, 250 cm^3) touching 300 and 500 on the P axis and 150 and 350 on the V axis.
