Solve with detailed explanation

Solution:
Let the input power be P.
So 80 % of this power is used to lift the water,
so, used power, P' =0.80 P
Density of water is 1 Kg/L
So mass of 800 L water, m  = 800 Kg
Power to lift the water,
P'=mght=800×10×2020=8000 WBut, P'=0.80 PP=P'0.80=80000.80=10000 W       =10×103 W=10 kW             1kW=103W
So, input power = 10 kW
Hence, the correct answer is option (2).
