Correct answer:C
Standard Method
Given: List-I contains the thermodynamic processes (A) Isothermal, (B) Adiabatic, (C) Isobaric, and (D) Isochoric.
Find: The correct matching with the characteristics in List-II and hence the correct option.
From the given solution:
Hence, (A) \rightarrow (IV).
Hence, (B) \rightarrow (II).
Hence, (C) \rightarrow (III).
Hence, (D) \rightarrow (I).
So the complete matching is:
This corresponds to option (3). Therefore, the correct option is C.
Process-wise Explanation
Given: A match-the-following question on basic thermodynamic processes.
Find: Which option gives the correct correspondence between each process and its defining characteristic.
Step 1: Use the defining condition of each process.
For an isothermal process, temperature remains constant:
For an ideal gas, internal energy depends only on temperature. Therefore,
So, (A) \rightarrow (IV).
For an adiabatic process, no heat is transferred:
So, (B) \rightarrow (II).
For an isobaric process, pressure remains constant:
In such a process, internal energy can change, so the listed characteristic is
So, (C) \rightarrow (III).
For an isochoric process, volume remains constant:
Hence, work done is
So, (D) \rightarrow (I).
Step 2: Compare with the options.
The matching obtained is (A)-(IV), (B)-(II), (C)-(III), (D)-(I), which is exactly option (3).
Conclusion: The correct option is C.
Confusing isothermal with adiabatic. This is wrong because isothermal means constant temperature, whereas adiabatic means no heat exchange. Always identify the defining quantity first: isothermal gives and adiabatic gives .
Assuming isochoric means no change in internal energy. This is wrong because constant volume only implies zero work done, not necessarily zero internal energy change. Use , so when , only follows.
Using the wrong property for an isobaric process. This is wrong because isobaric means constant pressure, not constant internal energy. In general, for an isobaric process, can be non-zero, so match it with here.
