Efficiency = Output/Input.
Output = load * distance moved by load (wx),
Input = effort * distance moved by effort(py),

Efficiency = (50 * 2.5/ 12.5 * 40)*100 = 25%.

Load = 50kg,
Effort = 12.5kg,
M.A = 50kg/12.5kg,
M.A = 500/125,
M.A = 4.
Now, V.R = distance moved by effort/distance moved by load.

V.R = 40/2.5,
V.R = 400/25 = 16.

Now, efficiency = M.A /V.RX 100 = 4/16X100 = 25%.
So option are not correct.

The efficiency of machine =ma /vr , ma =2 and velocity ratio is 8.
