    Answer:

    the power (outside) of the train must be increased for the increase in resistance by the weight component.

    Explanation:

    We analyze the movement of the train at constant speed, on flat ground the force of the motor must counteract the friction force that opposes the movement, therefore to maintain the constant speed the two forces must be of the same magnitude.

    When the train goes up a slope, it is subjected to two forces: the friction force that opposes the movement and a component of the weight in the opposite direction to the movement, therefore the power (outside) of the train must be increased for the increase in resistance by the weight component.
