It is easier to roll a stone up a sloping road than to lift it vertical upwards because
work done in rolling is more than in lifting
work done in lifting the stone is equal to rolling it
work done in both is same but the rate of doing work is less in rolling
work done in rolling a stone is less than in lifting it

@All.

Here all are making a mistake with using "Force" and "Work". The work is the same in this question. Since you need less Force to push/pull the object on a slope (without friction applied) than vertically. But the distance is more on the Slope than vertically. Thus W = F x s -> W1 = W2.

The work done is the same but the rate of doing work is greater on lifting.

According to me, C is the correct answer. Because no more or less work is done if the displacement is the same in both the case.
