Answer
Case I
The direction of force acting on the block is perpendicular to the displacement. Hence, work done by force on the block will be zero.
Case II
The direction of force acting on the block is in the direction of displacement. Hence, work done by force on the block will be positive.
Case III
The direction of force acting on the block is opposite to the direction of displacement. Hence, work done by force on the block will be negative.
