Solution

The correct option is B 150 K
Since the gas expands adiabatically (i.e., no change in enthalpy) so the internal energy is totally converted into work.

For the gas, Cv=20 J/K. Thus, 20 J of energy is required for 1 change in temperature of the gas.

internal energy change involved during the process i.e., work done =3 kJ=3000 J.

Change in temperature =300020K=150 K

Initial temperature =300 K

Since, the gas expands so the temperature decreases and thus final temperature is 300150=150.

Hence, option B is correct
