Let ∆Wa and ∆Wb be the work done by the systems A and B, respectively, in the previous question.

∆Wa < ∆Wb In the p-V diagram, the area under the curve w.r.t the V axis is equal to the work done by the system. Since the area under the isotherm is greater than that under the adiabat, the work done by system A is less than that done by system B. Hence, ∆Wa < ∆Wb. [Solution diagram: 68307_solution_1.png]
