"1.24 m"^3 and isochoric

Explanation:

"(i)"

At "A"
"P"_1 = "6.2 atm"
"V"_1 = "0.6 m"^3

At "B"
"P"_2 = "3.0 atm"
"V"_2 = ?

At constant temperature

"PV = constant"

"P"_1"V"_1 = "P"_2 "V"_2

"V"_2 = ("P"_1"V"_1)/"P"_2 = (6.2 cancel"atm" × "0.6 m"^3)/(3.0 cancel"atm") = "1.24 m"^3

—————

"(ii)"

Path "BC" represents a change in pressure from "3.0 atm" to "4.2 atm" at constant volume. Therefore it is an isochoric process.
