Given below are two statements: 
Statement I: When \(\mu\) amount of an ideal gas undergoes adiabatic change from state \(\left({P}_1, {V}_1, {T}_1\right)\) to state \(\left({P}_2, {V}_2, {T}_2\right)\),  the work done is 
\({W}=\dfrac{\mu{R}\left({T}_2-{T}_1\right)}{1-\gamma}\), where \(\gamma=\dfrac{C_P}{C_V}\) and \(R=\) universal gas constant, 
Statement II: In the above case, when work is done on the gas, the temperature of the gas would rise.
 
1. Both Statement I and Statement II are correct.
2. Both Statement I and Statement II are incorrect.
3. Statement I is correct, but statement II is incorrect.
4. Statement I is incorrect, but statement II is correct.
