    An ideal gas goes from the state i to the state f as shown in figure. The work done by the gas during the process
    (a) is positive
    (b) is negative
    (c) is zero
    (d) cannot be obtained from this information.

    Work done by the gas during the process, `` ∆W=P∆V``

    Here,
    P = Pressure
    `` ∆``
    V = change in volume.
    Since the process described in the figure is isochoric, P = kT. As volume remains constant (`` ∆``V = 0), `` ∆``W = 0.
