Statement-1: Due to adiabatic expansion, the temperature of an ideal gas always decreases.

Statement-2: For an adiabatic process, ΔU = w.

Options:

Answer:
D
Solution:

Statement-1 is incorrect because in an adiabatic process temperature does not always decrease; it decreases only in expansion and increases in compression.
Statement-2 is correct because in an adiabatic process heat exchange is zero (q = 0), so from the First Law of Thermodynamics, ΔU = w.
Since Statement-1 is false but Statement-2 is true, the correct option is (D).
