An ideal gas goes from state \(A\) to state \(B\) via three different processes as indicated in the \((P\text-V)\) 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:

1. \(Q_3>Q_2>Q_1\) and \(\Delta U_1= \Delta U_2= \Delta U_3\)
2. \(Q_1=Q_2=Q_3\) and \(\Delta U_1> \Delta U_2> \Delta U_3\)
3. \(Q_3>Q_2>Q_1\) and \(\Delta U_1> \Delta U_2> \Delta U_3\)
4. \(Q_1>Q_2>Q_3\) and \(\Delta U_1= \Delta U_2= \Delta U_3\)
