A

different

B

same

C

energy of the first is more

D

energy of the second is more

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
B
Energy required = mgh. In both cases, h is the same. Hence, energy given by both is same. [It is worth noting here that powers of two men will be different a power is the energy expense per unit time and times are different here.]
