20/(0.8*0.8)=25.
80% Conveyance efficiency.
80% Irrigation Efficiency.

Hence, after losses = X-X/5 = 4X/5.

= 4X/5*80/100 = 16.

X = 25.

16*.80= 12.8 efficiency,
16*.20= 3.2 loss,
16+(12.8-3.2)=25.6~25.

@Anil.

What if efficiency is 80% and conveyance losses is 12%?

Ahmad Mujtaba said:   4 years ago
(100-Efficiency) / (100-Loss) = 0.25.
0.25 x 100.
= 25cm.

X* (80/100)-x * (80/100 * 20/100) = 16.
So x = 25.

16/(0.8 *0.8) = 25.
80% = 0.8,
100 - 20 % = 0.8.
