Two persons P and Q do same amount of work. The person Q does the work...
To find the ratio of power delivered by persons P and Q, we need to understand the concept of power and how it is related to work and time.
Power is defined as the rate at which work is done or energy is transferred. Mathematically, power is given by the formula:
Power = Work / Time
Given that both persons P and Q do the same amount of work, let's assume the work done by each person is W. Person P takes tP seconds to do the work, while person Q takes tQ seconds to do the same work.
Let's calculate the power delivered by person P and person Q separately.
Power delivered by person P:
P = W / tP
Power delivered by person Q:
Q = W / tQ
Now, we need to find the ratio of power delivered by person Q to person P, i.e., Q / P.
Using the above equations, we can substitute the values of P and Q:
Q / P = (W / tQ) / (W / tP)
Simplifying the above expression, we get:
Q / P = (W / tQ) * (tP / W)
The work done W gets cancelled out, and we are left with:
Q / P = tP / tQ
Therefore, the ratio of power delivered by person Q to person P is tP / tQ.
In the given options, the correct answer is option B, tQ / tP.
