Any cycle can be thermodynamic cycle but the cycle which restores its initial condition is the reversible cycle.

So the answer is wrong here.

For the system the cyclic change is simply zero.

But there will be change in surrounding if the cycle is externally irreversible (may be due to heat transfer through finite temperature difference).

For a cycle to be reversible, not only order of the cycle is important but also the reversibility of each process.

A thermodynamic cycle may be reversible/irreversible depending upon the speed of the process taking place. All it needs to complete is a cycle.

Reversible cycle means each and every process should be reversible. But here they have not mentioned that. It is just coming to the initial state after several process that is what mentioned. So thermodynamic cycle is correct.

It is reversible cycle.

Mr. Jay said:   1 decade ago
Why not reversible?

Any cycle can be thermodynamic cycle but the cycle which restores its initial condition is reversible cycle.

So answer is wrong here.
