Q.
In the P−V diagram, I is the initial state and F is the final state. The gas goes from I ot F by (i) IAF, (ii) IBF, (iii) ICF. The heat absorbed by the gas is
Heat absorbed in a thermodynamic process is given by ΔQ=ΔU+ΔW.
Here ΔU is same for all the three processes as it depends only on initial and final states.
But ΔWI=+Ve,ΔWII=0,ΔWIII =− ve ∴ΔQI>ΔQII
