A system is taken from state $\displaystyle a$ to state $\displaystyle c$ by two paths $\displaystyle a d c$ and $\displaystyle a b c$ as shown in the figure. The internal energy at $\displaystyle a$ is $\displaystyle \mathrm{U}_a=10 \mathrm{~J}$. Along the path $\displaystyle a d c$ the amount of heat absorbed $\displaystyle \delta Q_1=50 \mathrm{~J}$ and the work obtained $\displaystyle \delta \mathrm{W}_1=20 \mathrm{~J}$ whereas along the path $\displaystyle a b c$ the heat absorbed $\displaystyle \delta \mathrm{Q}_2=36 \mathrm{~J}$. The amount of work along the path $\displaystyle a b c$ is :

Official answer
(2)
$\displaystyle 6$ J
