Question

W=PV (area under P-V graph) but the units will be in atm-L To
convert them into joules, we have to multipy the value with 101 3
(~100) The options are in joules so shouldn't (b) be the correct
option?

Dear student

As the values of P is in KPa and volume is in Litres, the values
fit in W=PV and the answer is obtained in Joules
[Pa =kgm-1s-2 ] volume [m3 ] =
kgm-2s-2 =Joule
