One mole of an ideal gas undergoes two cyclic processes I and II shown in the P-V diagrams. In cycle I, a,b,c,d are isobaric, isothermal, isobaric and isochoric, respectively. In cycle II, a′,b′,c′,d′ are isothermal, isochoric, isobaric and isochoric, respectively. Let W₁ and W₂ be the total work done in cycles I and II. Find W₁/W₂.
