Referring to the OP, it depends on how you have the LDR devices connected to the PIC. Do you have three LDRs connected to three ADC inputs or is there some external switch that connects one at a time to a single ADC input?
True, the resistance of an LDR drops when exposed to light but that alone will not work. The ADC measures voltage so you need to make the LDR part of a potential divider in order to convert the light level so it can be measured. At the 'high' side of a potential diver the voltage will increase with light level, at the 'low' side it will decrease.
As far as the actual comparison works, all you have to do is decide which of the three measurments is largest. If you are using the ADC in 8-bit mode you only have to compare the ADRESH register values, if you want higher resolution you may have to compare ADRESL values as well.
