Solution

The correct option is D 3Mgd4

From the FBD,

MgF=Ma=Mg4

F=3Mg4

Therefore, the force applied by the cord is 3Mg4.

Since, displacement of the block is opposite to the force applied, the work done by the cord on the block is given by:

W=Fd

W=3Mg4×d

W=3Mgd4

Hence, option (D) is the correct answer.
