In a cyclic process, work done by the system is (a) more than the heat given to the system. (b) equal to the heat given to the system. (c) zero. (d) independent of the heat given to the system.

Answer: (b). For a complete cycle Δ U = 0 (U is a state function). Q = Δ U + W ⇒ W = Q. So the answer is (b) equal to the heat given to the system.
