An ideal gas goes from state $A$ to state $B$ via three different processes as indicated in the $P-V$ diagram. If $Q_1, Q_2, Q_3$ indicate the heat absorbed by the gas along the three processes and $\Delta U_1, \Delta U_2, \Delta U_3$
indicate the change in internal energy along the three processes respectively, then
indicate the change in internal energy along the three processes respectively, then

Change in internal energy is path independent and depends only on the initial and final states.
As the initial and final states in the three processes are same. Therefore,
$\Delta {u_1} = \Delta {u_2} = \Delta {u_3}$
Workdone, $W=Area\,under\,P-V\,graph$
As area under curve $1>$ area under curve $2>$ area under curve $3$
$\therefore {W_1} > {W_2} > {W_3}$
According to first law of thermodynamics,
$Q = W + \Delta u$
$As{W_1} > {W_2} > {W_3}\,and\,\Delta {u_1} = \Delta {u_2} = \Delta {u_3}$
$\therefore {Q_1} > {Q_2} > {Q_3}$
