The correct answer is: $100 J$
Net work done in sliding a body up to a height $h$ on inclined plane
$\begin{array}{r}=\text { Work done against gravitational force } \\ \quad+\text { Work done against frictional force }\end{array}$
$\Rightarrow \quad W=W_g+W_f$ ...(i)
but $W=300 \mathrm{~J}$
$W_g=m g h=2 \times 10 \times 10=200 \mathrm{~J}$
Putting in Eq. (i), we get
$\begin{gathered} \\ 300=200+W_f \\ \Rightarrow \quad W_f=300-200=100 \mathrm{~J}\end{gathered}$
