Solution

The correct option is D $90 W$
$F o r c e = m \times g = 40 \times 10 = 400 N$
$W o r k d o n e = F \times s$
Here we have 15 steps with 15 cm hence total displacement is $225 c m$ that is $2.25 m$
$W = 400 \times 2.25 = 900 J$
$P o w e r = w o r k / t i m e$
$P = 900 / 10 = 90 W a t t$
Hence we need a power of $90 W$ .
