(i) Work done by Suma is negative as the force and displacement are in opposite direction.

(ii) Work done is zero as the gravity on the load is acting vertically downward whereas its displacement is in horizontal direction.

(iii) Work done is positive as both force and displacement are in upward direction.

(iv) Work done is zero as there is no displacement involved.
