The correct answer is:
$\mathrm{MgL} / 2 \mathrm{n}^{2}$
$\quad \mathrm{W}=$ change in $\mathrm{PE}$ of $\mathrm{COM}$ of hanging part
$$
=\frac{\mathrm{M}}{\mathrm{n}} \mathrm{g} \frac{\mathrm{L}}{2 \mathrm{n}}=\frac{\mathrm{MgL}}{2 \mathrm{n}^{2}}
$$
$$
=\frac{\mathrm{M}}{\mathrm{n}} \mathrm{g} \frac{\mathrm{L}}{2 \mathrm{n}}=\frac{\mathrm{MgL}}{2 \mathrm{n}^{2}}
$$
