Match List-I with List-II. List-I: (A) Isothermal, (B) Adiabatic, (C) Isobaric, (D) Isochoric. List-II: (I) Δ W=0, where Δ W is the work done; (II) Δ Q=0, where Δ Q is the heat supplied; (III) Δ U e0, where Δ U is the change in internal energy; (IV) Δ U=0. Choose the correct answer from the options given below.

Asked in JEE Main 7th April 2nd Shift 2025 · Matching a Process to its Condition

Answer: (3) (A)-(IV), (B)-(II), (C)-(III), (D)-(I)

Step-by-step solution

Isothermal: Δ U=0, so (A)-(IV).

Adiabatic: Δ Q=0, so (B)-(II).

Isobaric: both heat and work are non-zero, so Δ U e0, (C)-(III).

Isochoric: Δ W=0, so (D)-(I).
