Following figure shows two processes $A$ and $B$ for a gas. If $\Delta Q_A$ and $\Delta Q_B$ are the amount of heat absorbed by the system in two cases, and $\Delta U_A$ and $\Delta U_B$ are changes in internal energies, respectively, then

$\Delta {Q_A}\, = \,\Delta {Q_B}\,;\,\Delta {U_A} = \Delta {U_B}$
$\Delta {Q_A}\, > \,\Delta {Q_B}\,;\,\Delta {U_A} = \Delta {U_B}$
$\Delta {Q_A}\, < \,\Delta {Q_B}\,;\,\Delta {U_A} < \Delta {U_B}$
$\Delta {Q_A}\, > \,\Delta {Q_B}\,;\,\Delta {U_A} > \Delta {U_B}$
Solution

Initial and final states for both the processes are same,
$\therefore \Delta \mathrm{U}_{\mathrm{A}}=\Delta \mathrm{U}_{\mathrm{B}}$
Work done during process $A$ is greater than in process $B$. Because area is more
By First law of thermodynamics
$\Delta Q=\Delta U+W$
$\Rightarrow \Delta \mathrm{Q}_{\mathrm{A}}>\Delta \mathrm{Q}_{\mathrm{B}}$
