The correct answer is: 1

It is given that a force F=-xi^+yj^ acts on a particle. The particle is moved from point A1,0 to B0,1 along the line segment.

Work done by a variable force on the particle,
W=F·dr=F·dxi^+dyj^
(In two dimension, dr=dxi^+dyj^
and it is given F=-xi^+yj^)

W=-xi^+yj^·dxi^+dyj^

=-xdx+ydy=-xdx+ydy.
As the particle is displaced from A1,0 to B0,1x varies from 1 to 0 and y varies from 0 to 1.
So, work will be,

W=-10xdx+01ydy=-x2210+y2201

=120+12+12-0=1 J.
