Solution:
Power=Work/time
Work=Force*Distance (in our case)
Force=m*g (lifting force is equal to weight of the body)

now numbers
m=49kg
Distance=5m
time=20s
g=10H/kg

Force=m*g=49kg*10N/kg=490N
Work=Force*distance=490N*5m=2450Nm
Power=Work/time=2450Nm/20s=122.5Nm/s=122.5Watt

ANSWER:
Power=122.5Watt
