Solution

The correct option is C Both are doing equal work
Work done is a product of force and displacement. The force, which is equal to the weight, is same for Ram and Sham and the displacement of Ram and Sham, which is equal to height of the hills, is same with reference to the ground. Hence, the work done by both of them would be equal.
