Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(B) \(\frac {MgL}{2n^2}\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

Mass of the hanging part \(=\) \(\frac{M}{n}\)

\({h_{COM}} = \frac{L}{{2n}}\)

work done \(W = mg{h_{COM}} = \left( {\frac{M}{n}} \right)g\left( {\frac{L}{{2n}}} \right) = \frac{{MgL}}{{2{n^2}}}\)
