Options:
  • A $(T-4) \mathrm{K}$
  • B $(T+4) \mathrm{K}$
  • C $(T-2.4) \mathrm{K}$
  • D $(T+2.4) \mathrm{K}$

The correct answer is: $(T-4) \mathrm{K}$
Work done by gas in adiabatic process,
$\begin{array}{rlrl}
& & W & =\frac{n R\left(T_i-T_f\right)}{\gamma-1} \\
\therefore & 6 R & =\frac{1 \times R\left(T-T_2\right)}{\left(\frac{5}{3}-1\right)} \\
& \text { or } & 6 & =\frac{T-T_2}{2 / 3} \\
& \text { or } & T & -T_2=4 \text { or } T_2=(T-4) \mathrm{K}
\end{array}$
