The work done on the desk is 200 joules. Work is calculated by multiplying force applied by the distance moved in the direction of the force; in this case, 20 N x 10 m = 200 J.
The force from your desk on an object placed on it is equal in magnitude and opposite in direction to the force that the object exerts on the desk due to Newton's third law of motion.
No, if the force exerted in one direction is greater than the force exerted in the opposite direction, the desk will move in the direction with the greater force, in this case to the left. The desk will move in the direction of the net force acting on it, which is the difference between the two forces (15 N to the left - 10 N to the right = 5 N to the left).
The desk is exerting a gravitational force, equal in magnitude but opposite in direction to the force of gravity acting on the book. This force has a magnitude of 4.9 newtons (N) downwards, as gravity pulls objects with a force of 9.8 N/kg and the book has a mass of 0.5 kg.
The force of your pencil or pen against the desk that your paper is on if you're writing something down. The force of your paper against the desk. The force of your book against the desk. In each case, the desk exerts the identical but opposite force against the object lying on it. If that were not true, the objects would deform the desk, or the desk would form a bump where the objects are lying on it.
A simple formula would do to get the force on the desk. Force = pressure x area. Pressure = 1 x 105 pascal. Area = length x breadth = 1.54 x 0.78 = 1.2012 m2. Hence the force = 1.2012 x 105 newton.

Work = Force X Distance 20 N X 10 m = 200 N-m

Work done = force multiply by displacement so W = 20X 10 = 200 Nm now 1Nm = 1 joule then the answer is 200 J

The gravitational force between you and your desk is way too weak to notice. Insert your own mass (for example, 50 kg), the mass of the desk (shouldn't be more than 50 kg or so), and an estimate for the distance (for example, 1 meter) into the formula to calculate the force of gravity. You'll see that the result is an extremely weak force.

It would be one meter.
No, an unbalanced desk is not an example of an unbalanced force. An unbalanced force refers to a force that causes motion or a change in motion, while an unbalanced desk is simply an object that is not level.
1 meter.
