Solution & Step-by-step Explanation

The graph shows a straight line passing through the origin in the plane, which implies . According to the ideal gas law , if is constant, the pressure must be constant. Thus, the process is isobaric.Work done () in an isobaric process is given by:

Heat absorbed () in an isobaric process is given by:

For a monatomic gas, .The required ratio is:
