It would be 150N to the right since they are moving it in the same direction.

Answer: 150N to the right...

Force acting on the box applied by Sally,  F1= 100 N (right side)

Force acting on the box applied by Ann,  F2= 50 N (right side)

It is clear that the two forces are acting on same direction. Let right side is positive direction. So, F= F1 + F2

                                       F= 100+50

                                        F=150 N

  The direction of the box is towards the right side. So, the correct option is 150 N to the right... Hope this helps... Plz mark me brainliest.... Stay safe and have a great weekend!!! :D
