An ideal gas undergoes two processes in a pistoncylinder device as follows: 1-2 Polytropic compression from T1

Question:

An ideal gas undergoes two processes in a pistoncylinder device as follows:
1-2 Polytropic compression from T1 and P1 with a polytropic exponent n and a compression ratio of r = V1/V2.
(a) Sketch the processes on a single P-V diagram.
(b) Obtain an expression for the ratio of the compression-to- expansion work as a function of n and r.
(c) Find the value of this ratio for values of n = 1.4 and r = 6.
