Question 239

A crate is lifted from the ground to a platform using two different hoist systems, System X and System Y. System X takes 12 seconds12 \text{ seconds}12 seconds to lift the crate. The useful work done by System X is WWW, and the useful power developed is PPP. System Y takes 8 seconds8 \text{ seconds}8 seconds to lift the identical crate to the same platform.

Which row in the table correctly describes the useful work done and the useful power developed by System Y?
