Gear A (driver) has 20 teeth and rotates clockwise at \(1200\,\text{rpm}\). It meshes with gear B (intermediate) having 40 teeth. Gear B is fixed on the same axle as gear C (output) which has 30 teeth and drives a load. Assuming no slip, determine the angular speed and direction of gear C. If the input power to the gear train is \(150\,\text{W}\) and the overall efficiency is \(90\%\), what is the power transmitted to the load?
