If W1, W2 and W3 represent the work done in moving a particle from A to B along three different paths 1, 2 and 3 respectively (as shown) in the gravitational field of a point mass m, find the correct relation between W1, W2 and W3.

- W1 > W2 > W3
- W1 = W2 = W3
- W1 < W2 < W3
- W2 > W1 > W3.
Answer
(B) W 1 = W 2 = W 3
