Supposing that the table is frictionless,
and the external agent brings the chain up slowly on the table.
There will be no change in kinetic energy and hence,

Work external + Work gravity = 0
Work external + ( -M/6*g*L/12) = 0
Therefore,
Work external = MgL/72

chayansoni: this is right
dhruvsh: ok cool
