The correct answer is C) 7860 J
Heat absorbed by the system ( Q ) = 2 k   c a l = 2 × 10 3 × 4.18 = + 8360 Joules
Work done by the system ( W ) = + 500 J
According to First law of Thermodynamics
ΔQ=ΔU+ΔW
We obtain by substituting the given values,
8360=ΔU+500⇒ΔU=7860 J
Therefore, option (c) is the correct option.
