Solution

One mechanic or hydraulic horsepower is equal to 0.745699872 kilowatts:

1 hp(I) = 745.699872 W = 0.745699872 kW

So the power conversion of kilowatts to horsepower is given by:

P(hp) = P(kW) / 0.745699872

To convert kilowatt to Horse power , divide it with 0.745699872.

You asked to convert 1 kw to corresponding hp.

P(hp) =1/0.745699872
=1.34
Therefore, option
(A) is correct.
