उत्तर
∆Wa < ∆Wb

In the p-V diagram, the area under the curve w.r.t the V axis is equal to the work done by the system. Since the area under the isotherm is greater than that under the adiabat, the work done by system A is less than that done by system B. Hence, ∆Wa < ∆Wb.

[Hint: Assume the atoms to be ‘tightly packed’ in a solid or liquid phase, and use the known value of Avogadro’s number. You should, however, not take the actual numbers you obtain for various atomic sizes too literally. Because of the crudeness of the tight packing approximation, the results only indicate that atomic sizes are in the range of a few Å].
