Rocket is a non air breathing engine, which doesn't depends on air.
It depends only on jet velocity. So jet velocity should be more than its aircraft velocity in this case.

According to kelvin planks statement we can't obtain the 100% efficiency. So we can't convert 100% work in another 100% work (i.e 100% velocity to another 100% velocity). It should be less then 100%.

It should be equal to because for maximum efficiency the aircraft should move to its maximum velocity. As we know,
F = m*(vj-vi).
F = m*(vj-vi).

Sigma = u/cj;
For maximum sigma = 0.5, So 1/2.
For maximum sigma = 0.5, So 1/2.

Absolute velocity of a non-air breathing rocks jet velocity is always greater than its air jet velocity.
