The correct answer is: $40 \mathrm{~J}$
From the first law of thermodynamics, if an amount of heat $Q$ is given to a system, a part of it is used in increasing the internal energy $\Delta U$ of the system and the rest in doing work $W$ by the system.
$\begin{array}{rlrl}
\therefore & Q & =\Delta U+W \\
\Rightarrow & & \Delta U & =Q-W \Rightarrow \Delta U=150-110 \\
& & =40 \mathrm{~J}
\end{array}$
