A thermodynamic cycle in the pressure -volume plane is given below:

and are isothermal processes while and are adiabatic processes. The same cycle in the temperature - entropy plane is :
- Correct answerA

- B

- C

- D

Solution
is isothermal reversible expansion process i.e. and increases as there is increase in volume.
is adiabatic reversible expansion process i.e. temperature decreases and
is isothermal reversible compression process i.e. and decreases as there is decrease in volume.
is adiabatic reversible compression process i.e. temperature decreases and
Hence, the correct answer is option: 'A'.
