Correct answer: B

  1. Find the uniform acceleration

Since the body starts from rest and reaches speed v1v_1v1​ in time TTT under uniform acceleration,

a=v1−0T=v1Ta = \frac{v_1 - 0}{T} = \frac{v_1}{T}a=Tv1​−0​=Tv1​​

  1. Write velocity as a function of time

For motion starting from rest with constant acceleration,

v(t)=at=v1Ttv(t) = at = \frac{v_1}{T}tv(t)=at=Tv1​​t

  1. Find instantaneous power

Instantaneous power is

P=F⃗⋅v⃗P = \vec F \cdot \vec vP=F⋅v

Since force and velocity are in the same direction,

P=Fv=mavP = Fv = mavP=Fv=mav

Substitute a=v1Ta = \dfrac{v_1}{T}a=Tv1​​ and v=v1Ttv = \dfrac{v_1}{T}tv=Tv1​​t:

P=m(v1T)(v1Tt)P = m\left(\frac{v_1}{T}\right)\left(\frac{v_1}{T}t\right)P=m(Tv1​​)(Tv1​​t)

P=mv12tT2P = \frac{mv_1^2 t}{T^2}P=T2mv12​t​

  1. Match with the options

The expression obtained is

mv12tT2\boxed{\frac{mv_1^2 t}{T^2}}T2mv12​t​​

This matches Option B.

  1. Check other options briefly
  • A: mv1t2T\dfrac{mv_1 t^2}{T}Tmv1​t2​ has wrong dimensions for power.
  • C: mv1tT\dfrac{mv_1 t}{T}Tmv1​t​ also has wrong dimensions.
  • D: mv12tT\dfrac{mv_1^2 t}{T}Tmv12​t​ differs by a factor of TTT and is incorrect.

Therefore, the correct answer is B.
