The correct answer is: 900 J

Here, the position of the object is x=3t2+5, therefore the velocity of the object will be,

v=dxdt=d3t2+5dt

v=6t+0

From the work-energy theorem, all the work done by the force acting on it will be equal to the change in its kinetic energy, i.e.,

W=KEt=5 s-KEt=0 s
W=12×2×6×52-12×2×6×02
W=900 J.
