Question

The arrow OA in the PV diagram shown in the figure represents a reversible adiabatic expansion of an ideal gas. The same sample of gas, starting from the same state O, now undergoes an adiabatic free expansion to the same final volume. What point on the diagram could represent the final state of the gas?

(This problem has a diagram, it starts at O which is the top left of the graph, and goes to a on a parabolic downward curve. Point B is above and point C is below. It can be more than one of these choices as well as none of these.)
