Q. Work done by a conservative force on a system is equal to

Work, Energy and Power

Solution:

We know that $d U=-d W$
where $d U$ is the change in potential energy and $d W$ is the work done by conservative forces Hence, work done by conservative forces on a system is equal to the negative of the change in potential energy.
