Power calculation in Pelton Wheel - GATE ME '06

In a Pelton wheel, the bucket peripheral speed is 10 m/s, the water jet velocity is 25 m/s and the volumetric flow rate of the jet is 0.1 m^3/s. If the jet deflection angle is 120 and the flow is ideal, the power developed is: A. 7.5 kW B. 15.0 kW C. 22.5 kW D. 37.5 kW
