Answer:

Peter

Step-by-step explanation:

Peter has more power, as he is able to lift the same amount of weight as Paul in a much shorter time.

If Paul can lift 100kg 10 times in 1 minute, and Peter can lift 100kg 10 times in 10 seconds, Peter is 6 times stronger than Paul, because 1 minute, or 60 seconds, is 6 times longer than 10 seconds.
