Mechanical advantage (MA) = Load (W)/Effort (P).

MA = W/P = 500/25 = 20.
Velocity ratio (VR) = (Distance moved by the effort (Y))/(Distance moved by the load (X)).
VR = Y/X = 650/13 = 50.
Efficiency = MA/VR = 20/50 = 0.4 i.e. 40%.

Option B is the right.

40% is the correct answer.

Hence option B is right.

Most perfect and easy solution, Thanks @Nikil.

Efficiency = (output)/(input)
Output = load*distance covered by the load.
Input = effort*distance through which the efforts act.

Efficency = (500*13)/(25*650) = 0.4.
Hence efficiency in % would be 40%.

Efficient is equals to MA/VR and MA is equals to W/P and VR is equaled to Y/X.

Efficiency = m.a/w.p*100.
m.a = w/p = 500/25 = 20.

v.r = y/x = 650/13 = 50.
N = 20/50*100 = 40%.
