@Sanjay.

You are correct. As per the question, this is heating coil so the answer is option B.

By pass factor Basic Fanda output/input = Effieiency = BPF.

You are right @Swapnil.

By pass factor= (tb2 - tb3)/(tb1 - tb3).

So,
tb1 = ambient air temperature = 15,
tb2 = temperater of air leaving the coil's = 25.
tb3 = heating coil temperature = 40.

By solving.

(25 - 40)/(15 - 40) = 0.6.

By-pass factor of the heating coil is = x,

x=((td3-td2)/(td3-td1)).

Where,

td3= DBT of the heating coil.
td1= DBT of air entering the heating coil.
td2= DBT of air leaving the heating coil.
