A supersonic intake achieves recovery of 0.88 where the specification requires 0.92. The shortfall as a fraction of the requirement is

  • A.8.0 per cent
  • B.4.3 per cent
  • C.4.0 per cent
  • D.4.5 per cent

Answer: B

Correct answer: 4.3 per cent

The shortfall is taken as a fraction of what was required: \[ \frac{0.92 - 0.88}{0.92} = 0.043. \] Expressing it against the achieved figure instead gives 4.5 per cent, and the plain difference of 0.04 gives 4.0 - both offered here, so the denominator is what the question turns on.
