One mole of an ideal gas undergoes two different cyclic processes I and I, as shown in the P-V diagrams below. In cycle, I processes a, b, c and d are isobaric, isothermal, isobaric, and isochoric, respectively. In cycle II, processes a',b',c', and d' are isothermal, isochoric, isobaric, and isochoric, respectively. The total work done during cycle I is 𝑊I and that during cycle II is 𝑊II. The ratio WI/WII is
