Solution

The correct option is B 90 J
Work done in moving a charge from say point A to point B is given by W=q(VBVA) where VB and VA represent the potentials of point B and A respectively.
Here the particle is moved from A (1,2,3) to B (3,4,1)
VB=32.4.1=36 V
and VA=12.2.3=6V
Work done = q(VBVA)=3.(366)=90 J
