Solution

The correct option is C 24 J
The work done by the constant force F during displacement S of a particle is scalar product of force and displacement and is given by
W=F.S
rA=(2^i+4^j6^k) m, rB=(6^i4^j+2^k) m

S=rBrA
=(6^i4^j+2^k)(2^i+4^j6^k)=4^i8^j+8^k
W=F.S=(2^i+3^j^k).(4^i8^j+8^k)=8248=24 J

Hence option C is the correct answer
