Oil pressure falls from 60 to 15 pounds per square inch. The percentage drop is

  • A.75 per cent
  • B.25 per cent
  • C.45 per cent
  • D.300 per cent

Answer: A

Correct answer: 75 per cent

The drop is measured against the original value:

\[ \frac{60 - 15}{60} \times 100 = 75\% \]

The distractor 25 per cent is the remaining fraction rather than the loss, and 300 per cent inverts the ratio. In operational terms a fall of this size is far more than a trend: at 15 psi the oil film supporting the bearings is unlikely to be maintained, so this is an immediate-action indication rather than something to monitor.
