Hello im having some troubles with this question

An air-standard cycle is executed within a closed piston–cylinder system and consists of
three processes as follows:
1→2: constant-volume head addition from 100 kPa and 27°C to 850 kPa
2→3: isothermal expansion until ?3 =7?2
3→1: constant-pressure heat rejection to the initial state.
Assuming that air has constant properties with Cv = 0.718 kJ/kg·K, Cp = 1.005 kJ/kg·K, γ = 1.4
and R=0.287 kJ/kg.K
(a) Sketch the T-S and P-V diagram of the cycle 
(b) Determine the ratio of the compression work to the expansion work 
(c) Calculate the cycle thermal efficiency
