Answer:

b. 20%

Step-by-step explanation:

Efficiency of an engine is a ratio in percentage of the work done to the energy intake of the engine.

η=(Q₁-Q₂)/Q₁×100%

η is efficiency, Q₁ is the energy intake, Q₂ is energy wasted.

The information provided is:

Energy intake = 400 J

Work done = 80 J = (400-320) =Q₁-Q₂

Energy wasted =320 J

η= 80/400×100%

=20%
