    As we know power P =
    dw
    dt

    ⇒ w = Pt =
    1
    mV2

    Given force F = 2tî + 3t2
    According to Newton's second law of motion,

    m
    dv
    = 2tî + 3t2ĵ (m = 1 kg)
    dt


    ⇒ v = t2î + t3
    Power P = F . v = (2tî + 3t2ĵ) . (t2î + t3ĵ)
    = (2t3 + 3t5)W

    Correct Option: D
