Say we have three threads T1, T2 and T3 which
perform sequentially one after another is their any benefit
of using thread over here rather than having a single
process.

As the execution of the threads are strictly dependent of
finish to start relationship, so using different theads
won't give any benifit except modularity of the
functionalities even if we use multiprocessor system. and
even the process can have multiple functions for the job
that individual thread is doing.
Sumant Kulkarni:
"I really feel, using threads in this situation is wastage
of resources. Using a single process would be the right
choice. This avoids context switching between threads."
Are you sure there will be context switching among threads?
Look, here the threads execution is sequential not
parallel. they are dependent of previous thread to finish
to start.
As the threads T1, T2, T3 are to be executed sequentially,
so first T1 will execute and once the control reach the end
the thread will exit, like that T2 and T3 will exit once
the control reaches the end of the function executed by
that thread. so is there really a need for the OS to do
context switching??? No right.
