Two devices in series achieve \( 90 \) and \( 95 \) per cent efficiency. The overall efficiency is

  • A.85.5 per cent
  • B.99.5 per cent
  • C.92.5 per cent
  • D.185 per cent

Answer: B

The penetrations multiply, so \( 0.10 \times 0.05 = 0.005 \) passes and 99.5 per cent is collected. Working in penetration rather than efficiency is much the easier way to handle devices in series, and it makes the diminishing returns obvious.
