Gravitational Potential & Energy

A gravitational field is present in a region and a mass is shifted from A to B through different paths as shown. If W1, W2 and W3 represent the work done by the gravitational force along the respective paths, then:

Show answer and solution

Answer: (b)

Gravitational force is conservative: work done by it depends only on the initial and final positions.
All three paths join the same points A and B.
So the answer is (b) $W_1 = W_2 = W_3$ .
