    An installation consisting of an electric motor driving a water pump left 75 L of water per second to a height of 4.7 m. If the motor consumes a power of 5 kW, then the efficiency of the installation is

    A) 39%                                       

    B) 69%

    C) 93%                                       

    D) 96%

    Correct Answer: B

    Solution :

    Power consumed by the motor = 5 kW                           \[{{l}_{g}}=\frac{S}{S+a}\times l\]                            \[15\times {{10}^{-3}}=\left( \frac{S}{S+50} \right)\times 25\] Power used in lifting the water                      \[S=0.03\Omega \]               \[r=R\left( \frac{{{l}_{1}}}{{{l}_{2}}}-1 \right)\]               \[=2\left( \frac{125}{100}-1 \right)\] Efficiency \[=2\left( \frac{5}{4}-1 \right)\]                \[=2\times \frac{1}{4}\]
