Using the given P - V diagram, the work done by an ideal gas along the path ABCD is :

Path is:

$$A(2V_0,P_0)→B(3V_0,P_0)→C(3V_0,2P_0)→D(V_0,2P_0)$$

Work done is

$$W=\int PdV$$

Calculate segment-wise.

Along AB (constant pressure $$P_0$$​):

$$W_{AB}=P_0(3V_0-2V_0)=P_0V_0$$

Along BC (constant volume):

$$W_{BC}=0$$

Along CD (constant pressure $$2P_0$$ compression):

$$W_{CD}=2P_0(V_0-3V_0)$$

$$=2P_0(-2V_0)=-4P_0V_0$$

Total work:

$$W=W_{AB}+W_{BC}+W_{CD}$$

$$P_0V_0-4P_0V_0$$

$$=-3P_0V_0$$​
