Answer:

7.402%

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that the total electrical energy used by the bulb in every second is 66.2 J.

The useful energy converted to light energy is 4.9 J.

As efficiancy (in %) = (Useful energy)/(Total energy) x 100

So, the efficiency of the bulb = (4.9/66.2)x100=7.402%

Hence, the efficiency of the bulb is 7.402%.
