Detailed Solution

An ideal gas does more work in reversible expansion as compared to irreversible expansion. Since the expansion is carried out in an isolated system (adiabatic conditions), the decrease in the internal energy will be larger under reversible conditions and hence it involves larger decrease in temperature leading to the fact Tfirrv>Tfrev
