Correct answer: A

  1. Given process: free expansion of an ideal gas under adiabatic condition

    We analyze each thermodynamic quantity:

    • Adiabatic condition means no heat exchange: q=0q=0q=0

    • Free expansion means expansion against zero external pressure, so work done is: w=−PextΔV=0w=-P_{\text{ext}}\Delta V=0w=−Pext​ΔV=0 since Pext=0P_{\text{ext}}=0Pext​=0.

  2. Apply the first law of thermodynamics

    ΔU=q+w\Delta U=q+wΔU=q+w

    Substituting the above values: ΔU=0+0=0\Delta U=0+0=0ΔU=0+0=0

  3. For an ideal gas

    Internal energy depends only on temperature. Therefore, ΔU=nCVΔT\Delta U=nC_V\Delta TΔU=nCV​ΔT

    Since ΔU=0\Delta U=0ΔU=0, we get ΔT=0\Delta T=0ΔT=0

  4. Conclusion

    For free expansion of an ideal gas under adiabatic conditions: q=0,w=0,ΔT=0q=0,\quad w=0,\quad \Delta T=0q=0,w=0,ΔT=0

  5. Check options

    • A: q=0, ΔT=0, w=0q=0,\ \Delta T=0,\ w=0q=0, ΔT=0, w=0 ✅
    • B: q=0, ΔT≠0, w=0q=0,\ \Delta T\neq 0,\ w=0q=0, ΔT=0, w=0 ❌
    • C: q≠0, ΔT=0, w=0q\neq 0,\ \Delta T=0,\ w=0q=0, ΔT=0, w=0 ❌
    • D: q=0, ΔT<0, w≠0q=0,\ \Delta T<0,\ w\neq 0q=0, ΔT<0, w=0 ❌

Hence, the correct option is A.
