Detailed Solution

(1) is wrong because Vcmis always '0' because Fext= 0 and hence acm = 0 

(2) is wrong because work done by static friction on the system is always zero.

(3)is right because displacement of the plank is in the direction of frictional force acting on it .

(4) is correct because internal energy of man converted into KE of the system
