A uniform force of (3^i+^j)N acts on a particle of mass 2kg. Hence the particle is displaced from position (2^i+^k)m to position (4^i+3^j−^k)m. The work done by the force on the particle is -

Solution
The correct option is D9J The position vectors of initial and final position are, →ri=2^i+^k,→rf=4^i+3^j−^k
The displacement vector is given by,
→S=→rf−→ri
∴→S=2^i+3^j−2^k
And, →F=3^i+^j
The work done is given by,
W=→F⋅→S
=3×2+1×3+0×(−2)=9J
