Solution

The correct option is B

500W


Step 1: Given data

Mass of the body m=50kg

No.of staircases =40

Height of each step =15cm=0.15m

The total height the person traveled h=40×0.15m=6m.

Time is taken t=6s

Acceleration due to gravity g space equals space 10 space m divided by s squared

Step 2: To find the power of the person.

We have Power P=mght

P=50kg×10ms-2×6m6s=500W

Therefore, the power of the person is 500W

Hence, option B is correct.
