As velocity along y-axis remains unchanged, so there should not be any electric field along y axis.
Question Image
As velocity along x axis is increasing, so force on the electron must be along +x direction, so electric field must be towards –x direction.
(A) Velocity along x axis at B:
From A   B
  Vx= ux+ axt
Or   Vx= 0 + (eEm)(dV)          Vx=eEdmV
Where,  E=2amv2ed2    Vx=2aVd
(D) Net velocity vector at B

VB=Vxi+Vyj VB=2aVdi+Vj
  
(B) Rate of work done at B = Power =  F×VB
=(eEi^).(2aVdi^+Vj^) . 
=eE(2aVd) ; Where,  E = 2amV2ed2
P=4ma2V3d3  
(C) Rate of work done at A:
  PA=F×VA
 =(eEi^)×(Vj^)=0
