Detailed Solution

The Ecell of a galvanic cell is related to the concentration is given by Nernst equation. 

Ecell=Eo-0.0591nlog10[anode]cathode

For the given galvanic cell the Nernst equation is given as 

Ecell=Eo-0.05912log10[Zn2+][Cu2+]

With an increase in the concentration of Zn2+ ions, the emf of cell decreases.
With increase in the concentration of Cu2+ ions, the emf of cell increases.

Therefore, E2> E1>E3.
