    An apple gives 21 kJ energy to a boy. How much height he can climb by using this energy. If his efficiency is 28%? (mass of boy 40 kg)

    A)  22.5 m           

    B)  15 m

    C)  10 m            

    D)  5 m

    Correct Answer: B

    Solution :

     Here: Energy of one apple\[=2112\text{ }J\] \[=21\times {{10}^{3}}J\] Efficiency of the boy\[=28%=0.28\] Mass of the boy \[m=40\text{ }kg\] Here the actual energy consumed by the boy is given by as \[=0.28\times 21000=5880\text{ }J\]          ...(1) and the energy consumed by the boy in climbing h meter height is given by \[=m\,g\,h=40\times 9.8\times h\,J\]           ...(2) Equating equation (1) and (2) we get \[40\times 9.8\times h=5880\,J\] \[h=\frac{5880}{40\times 9.8}=15\,m\]
