An ideal gas expands isothermally from a volume $V_1$ to $V_2$ and then compressed to original volume $V_1$ adiabatically. Initial pressure is $P_1$ and final pressure is $P_3$. The total work done is $W$. Then

  • A

    $P_3 > P_1, W > 0$

  • B

    $P_3 < P_1, W < 0$

  • C

    $P_3 > P_1, W < 0$

  • D

    $P_3 = P_1, W = 0$
