Solution
The correct option is C Net work done by all the forces is 40 J It is known from theory that Work done by conservative forces =Ui−Uf Work done by external forces =Ef−Ei Net work done by all forces =Kf−Ki
So Work done by conservative forces =Ui−Uf=−20−40=−60J So Work done by external forces =Ef−Ei=140−40=100J and Net work done by all forces =Kf−Ki=100−60=40J
