    Answer: A

    Explanation: The amount of work done by Joe is equal to the amount of work done by Bob, because both have the same weight, same bicycle, cycling the same road and started the same time but the average power exerted by Joe is greater than that of Bob because Joe climbed a mountain while Bob passed a lower grade road.
