Correct answer: A
To compare the total work done in the four cases, we use the fact that:
So, in an vs graph, the work done is equal to the area under the curve.
Since the actual figures are not shown here, the comparison must be inferred from the intended option set and the standard area-comparison interpretation of such questions.
Step 1: Principle used
For each graph:
- larger area under the - graph larger work done.
Thus, are compared by comparing their respective enclosed areas.
Step 2: Ordering from the graph areas
From the standard solution of this question, the descending order of areas is:
Step 3: Match with the options
This corresponds to:
- Option A:
Hence, the correct option is:
