A.
Its internal energy (U) decreases and its entropy (S) increases
B.
U and S both decreases
Answer
C.
U decreases but S is constant
D.
U is constant but S decreases

Answer: Option B

Solution

Answer: Option B
Solution:
Since here heat is taken from the system
From second law of thermodynamics
Since given reversible process

From first law of thermodynamics
