In an experimental set-up, air flows between two stations $$P$$ and $$Q$$ adiabatically. The direction of flow depends on the pressure and temperature conditions maintained at $$P$$ and $$Q$$. The conditions at station $$P$$ are $$150$$ $$kPa$$ and $$350$$ $$K.$$ The temperature at station $$Q$$ is $$300$$ $$K.$$ The following are the properties and relations pertaining to air:

Specific heat at constant pressure, $$${C_p} = 1.005\,\,kJ/kg\,\,K;$$$
Specific heat at constant volume, $$${C_v} = 0.718\,\,kJ/kg\,\,K;$$$
Characteristic gas constant, $$R=0.287$$ $$kJ/kgK.$$
Enthalpy $$h = {C_p}T,$$
Internal energy, $$u = {C_v}T.$$

If the air has to flow from station $$P$$ to station $$Q,$$ the maximum possible value of pressure in $$kPa$$ at station $$Q$$ is close to

A
$$50$$
B
$$87$$
C
$$128$$
D
$$150$$

A cycle device operates between three thermal reservoirs, as shown in the figure. Heat is transferred to/from the cyclic device. It is assumed that heat transfer between each thermal reservoir and the cyclic device takes place across negligible temperature difference. Interactions between the cyclic device and the respective thermal reservoirs that are shown in the figure are all in the form of heat transfer.
