Detailed Solution

At contact point of man and plank, the relative motion is zero. As plank moves backward, man's foot also moves backwards, but friction on man acts forward. Hence work done by friction on man is negative. But with respect to plank, foot will be at rest, hence no work done by friction on man w.r.t. plank.
