Answer:

b. 4.6 %

Step-by-step explanation:

From the question,

E = M.A/V.R................ Equation 1

Where E = percentage Efficiency of the machine, M.A = machanical accurancy of the machine, V.R = Velocity ratio of the machine

Make V.R the subject of the equation

V.R = M.A/E

Given: M.A = 3, E = 65% = 0.65

Substitute this values into equation 2

V.R = 3/0.65

V.R = 4.6

Hence the right option is b. 4.6 $
