Efficiency of Otto cycle is 1- (1/r^y-1).

Where r is the compression ratio : volume before compression to volume after compression and why is the ratio of specific heats which is for air is 1.4.

Formula:
= 1-(1/c.r)^0.4,
= 1-(1/5.5)^0.4,
= 1-(0.1818)^0.4,
= 1-0.5056,
= 0.4944,
= 49.44%=50%(approximately).

Otto cycle efficiency n(neta)=1-(1/(r^(y-1)).
Compression ratio r=5.5.

T.E=1-(1/((5.5^(1.4-1))).
=0.4943.
=50%.

Otto cycle efficiency n(neta)=1-(1/(r^(y-1)).
Compression ratio r=5.5.

T.E = 1-(1/((5.5^(1.4-1))).
= 0.4943.
= 50%.

Efficiency of otto cycle is : 1-(1/(r^(y-1)))

So after resolve it, the efficiency of otto cycle is = 0.4943~50%.

T.E = 1-(1/r(5.5))^(1.4-1).

= 1-0.5056 = 0.49.

Approximately 0.50. Hence the correct answer is 0.50*100 = 50%.

Formula for finding efficiency is

= 1 - (1/C.R)^0.4

So answer will be near about 49% so its ~50%.

n = 1/(r)^(1.4 - 1), where r = 5.5.

Can we calculate without a calculator in the competitive exam?

This is only approximately you can't calculate actual but it is nearly equal to 50%.
