Three different processes that can occur in an ideal monoatomic gas are shown in the P vs V diagram. The paths are labelled as A → B , A → C and A → D . The change in internal energies during these process are taken as E A B , E A C and E A D and the work done as W A B , W A C and W A D . The correct relation between these parameters are:

E A B = E A C = E A D , W A B > 0 , W A C = 0 , W A D < 0

E A B = E A C < E A D , W A B > 0 , W A C = 0 , W A D < 0

E A B < E A C < E A D , W A B > 0 , W A C > W A D

E A B > E A C > E A D , W A B < W A C < W A D
