A dam is situated at a height of `550 m` above sea level and supples water to a power house which is at a height of `50 m` above sea level. `2000 kg` of water passes through the turbines per second. What would be the maximum electrical power output of the power house if the whole system were `80%` efficient

A

`8MW`

B

`10 MW`

C

`12.5 MW`

D

`16 MW`

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
