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 =UiUf
Work done by external forces =EfEi
Net work done by all forces
=KfKi

So Work done by conservative forces =UiUf=2040=60 J
So Work done by external forces =EfEi=14040=100 J
and Net work done by all forces
=KfKi=10060=40 J
