    The answer is option 2

    Power = 175 hp

    The correct formula to calculate the power is:

    Power = weight * (speed / 234) ³

    Where the weight is that of the vehicle plus the driver's

    Therefore the calculation is as follows:

    Power = (2200 + 180) * (98/234) ³

    Power = 174.8266 hp

    Rounding ...

    Power = 175 hp
