    The amount of work done can be solved using the formula:

    Work = Force x Distance = Change in kinetic energy

    Kinetic energy can be solved using the formula: KE = (1/2) * m*v^2

    So, change in kinetic energy = (1/2) * m * (Vf) ^2 - (1/2) * m * (Vo) ^2

    Where:

    Vf = final velocity = 90 kph = 25 m/s

    Vo = initial velocity = 72 kph = 20 m/s

    substituting the given values:

    Work = (1/2) * 2500 * (25^2) - (1/2) * 2500 * (20^2) = 281250 J, which can also be expressed as 2.8 x 10^5 Joules.

    Among the choices, the correct answer is A.
