The forces are applied in opposite direction.
So the net force will be the difference of both forces.
net force =5-3=2N
This force will be in direction of 5N(bigger force) means in direction which Andy is pushing.

Sure.
Can I use your answer to part-'a' ?
If the angular acceleration is actually 32 rev/min², than
after 1.2 min, it has reached the speed of
(32 rev/min²) x (1.2 min) = 38.4 rev/min .
Check:
If the initial speed is zero and the final speed is 38.4 rpm,
then the average speed during the acceleration period is
(1/2) (0 + 38.4) = 19.2 rpm average
At an average speed of 19.2 rpm for 1.2 min,
it covers
(19.2 rev/min) x (1.2 min) = 23.04 revs .
That's pretty close to the "23" in the question, so I think that
everything here is in order.
D would be the answer because The acceleration of an object as produced by a net force is directly proportional to the magnitude of the net force, in the same direction as the net force, and inversely proportional to the mass of the object.
