Solution

The correct option is C 1 J
Given constant force F=^i+2^j+3^k N
Initial position r1=(^i+^j+^k) m
Final position r2=(^i^j+2^k) m
Work done (W)=F.s


To find the displacement s:
s=r2r1= change in position
s=(^i^j+2^k)(^i+^j+^k)
s=(2^j+^k) m

We know that, if A=Ax^i+Ay^j+Az^k;B=Bx^i+By^j+Bz^k,
then A.B=AxBx+AyBy+AzBz

W=F.s=(^i+2^j+3^k).(2^j+^k)
W=1(0)+2(2)+3(1)
W=4+3=1
Workdone (W)=F.s=1 J

Hence option C is the correct answer.
