Detailed Solution

The particle is being centripetal accelerated by the force F.
The  kinetic energy is 12mv2

F=mv2r=αr2 12mv2=αr32

Potential energy is the work that force F does when it moves the mass from r=0 to r=r.

U=0rFdr=0rαr2dr U=αr33

Thus the total energy is = kinetic energy + potential energy

Total energy=αr32+αr33=5αr36.

Hence the correct answer is 5αr36.
