Solution

Step 1: Given information in the question:

  1. Total mass =55kg
  2. height of stairs =0.15m
  3. Total height covered by the boy =0.15×40=6m

Step 2: force acting on the boy is

F=mgF=55×10F=550N

Step 3: the work done by the body.

P.E.=mghP.E.=55×10×6P.E.=3300J

Step 4: Gain of potential energy by the boy

P.E.=mghP.E.=55×10×6P.E.=3300J

Step 5: Power developed by the boy

work done = potential energy

Therefore,

W=3300JP.E.=3300J

P=WtP=330015P=220JS-1

Therefore, power developed by the boy P=220JS-1

Hence, the correct answer is A-I, B-II, C-II, D-IV
