Best answer

i) In the first case force is acting perpendicular to the displacement of the object. So the work done by the force is zero. 

ii) In the second case force is acting in the direction of displacement. So work done by the force is positive. 

iii) In the third case force and displacement opposite to each other. So the work done is negative.
