A
the tension in the string is Mg
B
the tension in the string is F
C
the work done by the tension on the block is 20 J in the above 1 s.
D
the work done by the force of gravity is – 20 J in the above 1s.

The correct answer is:
B

F = T, WF + WG = 20

WT = 20 ⇒ 20 + WG = 20 ⇒ WG = 0

which is not possible.
