Efficiency =

(energy coming out that does what you want)

divided by

(total energy you put in).

= = = = = = = = = =

Efficiency = (20 J) / (100 J)

Efficiency = 20/100

Efficiency = 0.20

Efficiency = 20%  (C)

Engine's efficiency is the ratio of the work done by the engine and heat absorbed by it.  The efficiency of the given engine is 20%.

Engine efficiency:

[tex]E = \dfrac {W}{q}\times 100[/tex]

Where,

[tex]E[/tex]- efficiency

[tex]W[/tex] = work done by engine = 20J

[tex]q[/tex] - energy absorbed by engine  = 100 J

Put the values in the formula,

[tex]E = \dfrac {20}{100}\times 100\\\\E = 20\%[/tex]

Therefore, the efficiency of the given engine is 20%.
