    Consider the following two statements.
    (A) If heat is added to a system, its temperature must increase.
    (B) If positive work is done by a system in a thermodynamic process, its volume must increase.
    (a) Both A and B are correct.
    (b) A is correct but B is wrong.
    (c) B is correct but A is wrong.
    (d) Both A and B are wrong.
    digAnsr:   c
    Ans : (c) B is correct but A is wrong.
    If heat is added to a system in an isothermal process, then there'll be no change in the temperature.
    `` \,\mathrm{\,Work\,}\,\mathrm{\,done\,}\,\mathrm{\,by\,}\,\mathrm{\,a\,}\,\mathrm{\,system\,},∆W=P∆V``
    `` \Rightarrow ∆W=\,\mathrm{\,positive\,}\Rightarrow ∆V=\,\mathrm{\,positive\,}``
    Here,
    P = Pressure
    `` ∆``V = change in volume
