  1. A \(10 \%\)
  2. B \(15 \%\)
  3. C \(20 \%\)
  4. D \(25 \%\)
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(C) \(20 \%\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

\(W_H = 1.25 W_C\) \(\eta = \frac{W_H - W_C}{W_H}\) \(\eta = \frac{1.25 W_C - W_C}{1.25 W_C}\) \(\eta = \frac{0.25 W_C}{1.25 W_C}\) \(\eta = 0.20 = 20 \% \)
