Solution

The correct option is A 15 J
W= area under Fx graph
From X=0 to X=1, force and displacement both are positive. Therefore work done is positive.
W0=+Area=+5J
From X=1 to X=3, force and displacement both are positive. Therefore work done is positive.
W1=+Area=+15J
From X=3 to X=4, force is negative but displacement is positive. Therefore work done is again positive.
W2=Area=5J
From X=4 to X=5, force and displacement both are positive. Therefore work done is again positive.
W3=+Area=+5J
WTotal=W0+W1+W2+W3=20J
