One coolie takes 1 minute to raise a suitcase through a height of 2 m but the second coolie takes 30 s to raise the same suitcase to the same height. The powers of two coolies are in the ratio of

  1. 1 : 2
  2. 1 : 3
  3. 2 : 1
  4. 3 : 1

Correct answer: 2 : 1

Solution

Power is inversely proportional to the time taken for the same work. Since the first coolie takes 60 s and the second takes 30 s, their powers are in the ratio 30:60, which simplifies to 2:1.
