    Three different stones \[P,\,\,Q\] and \[R\] of different weights are lifted from the ground level to different heights on different planets as given below:
    P: A 250 g stone is lifted to 10 m on the Earth.
    Q: A 800 g stone is lifted to 2 m on Saturn.
    R: A 1kg stone is lifted to 1 m on Jupiter.
    Which of the following statements is true? (Given that the acceleration due to gravity on the Earth, the Saturn and the Jupiter are \[10\,\,m\,\,{{s}^{-2}},\,\,15\,\,m\,\,{{s}^{-2}}\] and \[25\,\,m\,\,{{s}^{-2}}\] respectively).

    A)  More energy is required to lift stone \[Q\] than stone\[P\].

    B)  More energy is required to lift stone \[P\] than stone\[R\].

    C)  Stone \[P\] and stone \[Q\] require the same amount of energy.

    D)  Stone \[P\] and stone \[R\] require the same amount of energy.  

    Correct Answer: D

    Solution :

     Work done in all the \[3\] cases\[=mgh\] Work done by\[P=mgh\]             \[=0.25\times 10\times 10=25\,\,J\] Work done by\[Q=mgh=0.8\times 15\times 2=24\,\,J\] Work done by\[R=mgh=1\times 25\times 1=25\,\,J\]
