The correct Answer is:
More work is done on the bicycle. This is because the bicycle moves through a certain distance on applying force (push) ; No work is done on the truck because it does not move at all on applying force (push)

According to the third law of motion, when we push on an object, the object pushes back on us with an equal and opposite force. If the object is a massive truck parked along the roadside, it will probably not move. A student justifies this by answering that the two opposite and equal forces cancel each other. Comment on this logic and explain why the truck does not move.
