Detailed Solution

The weight of hanging part $(\frac{L}{3})$ of chain is $(\frac{1}{3} M g)$ . This weight acts at centre of gravity of the hanging part, which is at a distance of $(\frac{L}{6})$ from the table .
As work done = $f o r c e \times d i s \tan c e$
$∴ W = \frac{M g}{3} \times \frac{L}{6} = \frac{M g L}{18}$
