Homework Equations

and the attempt at a solution:[/B]
AC is adiabatic and AB is isothermal.

Heat absorbed during process AC = 0 (adiabatic).
Heat absorbed during process CB = [tex]C_p \triangle T=-\frac{\gamma}{\gamma -1} (P_2V_3 - P_2V_2)[/tex]
Heat absorbed during process BA = [tex]RT\ln \frac{V_3}{V_1}[/tex]

Summing it up, does not give any of the options. What went wrong?
