I disagree with the answer. I think the answer is non-reversible because the maximum efficiency is 62.5 which greater than 50.

Here, 1000N/80N = 12.5N
Then, Effcny = (12.5/V. R) * 100 = 62.5,
So, the eff. of a machine is 62.5% and 62.5% > 50%.
If the efficiency is greater than 50%, it is known as a "reversible machine".
