Hi..... Rateof working here means power of machine =mgh/t . On putting the values 12000×4×10=480000 . We haven`t use 40sec because it would be same as we have to multiply and divide it which will equal to 1

In my opinion .The pump applied force=m×g=12000×9.8N work done =force ×distance=12000×9.8×40×4Power=rate of work=12000×9.8×4×40÷40=476400 Joule
