Solution

The correct option is C 3mgl8
In figure.(left side) Potential energy, E1=mgl2
In figure.(right side) Potential energy, E2=m2gl4=mgl8
By using energy conservation, we can write:
change in potential energy = work done by force
E2E1=work done
mgl8mgl2=work done
work done by the man=3mgl8
Hence, the correct option is (C)
