Answer» CHANGE in internal ENERGY is same in IV and III cases but not inI and II Change in internal energy is same in all the four cases Work DONE is maximum is Case I Work done is minimum in case II Solution :From the given initial state A to final state B change in internal energy is same in all the four Cases as it is independent of the path from A to B. As work done = area under P-V CURVE THEREFORE, work done is maximum in Case I.
