Solution
The correct option is B−220J
Since they are under force of attraction and displacement is given in opposite direction (They are made to separate).
Therefore work done will be −ve and its magnitude will be the change in kinetic energy.
∴ Work done by internal force = change in the K.E W=−220J,
Here we get −ve the direction of force of attraction is opposite to the direction of displacement.
