A particle is acted upon by a force $f$ Wnich varieg with position $x$ as shown in figure. If the particle at $x=0$ has kinetic energy of $25 \mathrm{~J}$, then the kinetic energy of the particle at $x=16 \mathrm{~m}$ is (a) $45 \mathrm{~J}$ (b) $30 \mathrm{~J}$ (c) $70 \mathrm{~J}$ (d) $20 \mathrm{~J}$
