Solution

Let the moles of an ideal gas be 1 and the temperature at B be To.
Thus PoVo=RTo To=PoVoR .......................(1)

Using ideal gas equation at A : PAVA=RTA
Po(3Vo)=RTA TA=3To (using 1)

Using ideal gas equation at C : PCVC=RTC
(3Po)Vo=RTC TC=3To (using 1)
Change in internal energy of gas during process ABC ΔUABC=Cv(TCTA)
ΔUABC=Cv(3To3To)=0
