Solution

The correct option is C $96 J$
The force applied by Vijay be $F_{1}$ = 24 $N$

The force applied by Gopal be $F_{2}$ = 8 $N$ .
Since the forces are acting in opposite directions, the net force will be acting in the direction of the larger force.

Net Force on the block= $F_{1}$ - $F_{2}$
$F = 24 - 8 = 16 N$

Displacement of the block in the direction of Vijay $S = 6 m$

Work done $= F \times S = 16 \times 6 = 96 J$
