• None of these.

Which of the following statements are true about power?

• If person A and person B do the same job but person B does it faster, then person A does more work but person B has more power.

• Powerful people or powerful machines are simply people or machines which always do a lot of work.

• Power refers to how fast work is done upon an object.
