    Answer: 83%

    Explanation:

    Efficiency of the process = work output/work input * 100%

    Work input is the energy used up in the process = 720,000Joules

    Work output = Force * distance

    = (3000*10) * 20

    = 600000 Joules

    Efficiency = 600000/720000 * 100

    = 0.83*100

    = 83%
