Solution

The correct option is C Zero
Drawing FBD of the system.


Applying 2nd law, on both the blocks

T2g=2aT20=2a ...(i)
40T=4a ...(ii)

We get tention (T)
T=803 N
Work done by T for 4 kg=F.d

W4kg=803N. Here the work done is negative as T and displacement are in opposite direction d

Work done by T for 2 kg = 803 N
Total work done by the tension is = 803+803=0
Hence option C is the correct answer
