Correct option is (d) none of the mentioned

For explanation I would say: The power of a governor is the work done at the sleeve for a given percentage change of speed. It is the product of the mean value of the effort and the distance through which the sleeve moves. Mathematically,

Power = Mean effort × lift of sleeve
