As we know, impulse is the area under the curve of the force vs. time graph. So, analysing each figure area under curve.
(a)A1=21×1.0×0.5=41N‐s
(b)A2=0.5×2=1N‐s
(c)A3=21×1×0.75=83N‐s
(d)A4=21×2×0.5=21N‐s
From above calculations, area under curve in figure (b) is maximum. Thus, fig (b) impulse is highest.
