l Option 1: This $5,000 machine is supplied energy at a rate of 1,900 W and does useful work at a rate
of 1,786 W.
l Option 2: This $4,500 machine is supplied energy at a rate of 1,450 W and does useful work at a rate
of 1,300 W.
l Option 3: This $4,750 machine is supplied energy at a rate of 1950 W and does useful work at a rate
of 1833 W.
l Option 4: This $4,750 machine is supplied energy at a rate of 2,000 W and does useful work at a rate
of 1,822 W.

A. Option 3
B. Option 2
C. Option 4
D. Option 1

Respuesta :

Option 3 is the answer

Explanation:

It is given that, your boss tells you that she needs a decision by the end of the day about the machine you want to purchase for your new operation.

Option 1.

This $5,000 machine is supplied energy at a rate of 1,900 W and does useful work at a rate of 1,786 W.

[tex]Efficiency=\dfrac{P_o}{P_i}\times 100[/tex]

[tex]P_o\ and\ P_i[/tex] is power output and power input respectively

Here, output power is 1786 W and input power is 1900 W

[tex]\eta=\dfrac{1786}{1900}\times 100=94\%[/tex]

Option 2.

This $4,500 machine is supplied energy at a rate of 1,450 W and does useful work at a rate of 1,300 W.

Here, output power is 1300 W and input power is 1450 W

So,

[tex]\eta=\dfrac{1300}{1450}\times 100=89.65\%[/tex]

Option 3.

This $4,750 machine is supplied energy at a rate of 1950 W and does useful work at a rate of 1833 W.

Here, output power is 1833 W and input power is 1950 W

[tex]\eta=\dfrac{1833}{1950}\times 100=94\%[/tex]

Option 4.

This $4,750 machine is supplied energy at a rate of 2,000 W and does useful work at a rate of 1,822 W.

Here, output power is 1822 W and input power is 2000 W

[tex]\eta=\dfrac{1822}{2000}\times 100=91.1\%[/tex]

The efficiency of machine in option (1) and (3) is same i.e. 94% but the cost of c is less and is providing maximum efficiency. Hence, the correct option is (3).
