At which load condition maximum efficiency of a distribution transformer will be achieved?

At which load condition maximum efficiency of a distribution transformer will be achieved? Correct Answer At 60% full load

The main difference between power transformer and distribution transformer is distribution transformer is designed for maximum efficiency at 60% to 70% load as these transformers normally doesn’t operate at full load all the time.

Consider the following statement: 1. Initial load tests and routine load tests are carried out on test piles and working Piles, respectively. 2. In a pile load test, the allowable load can be taken equal to half the ultimate load at which the total settlement amounts to one-tenth of the pile diameter. 3. In a pile load test, the allowable load can be taken equal to two-thirds of the total toad which causes a plastic settlement of 6 mm. Which of the above statements are correct?

Which of the following statement(s) are true with respect to the concept of ‘EFFICIENCY’ as used in mainstream economics? 1. Efficiency occurs when no possible organization of production can make anyone better off without making someone else worse off. 2. An economy is clearly inefficient if it is inside the Production Possibility Frontier (PPF). 3. At a minimum, an efficient economy is on its Production Possibility Frontier (PPF). 4. The terms such as ‘Pareto Efficiency’, ‘Pareto Optimality’ and ‘Allocative Efficiency’ are all essentially one and the same which denote ‘efficiency in resource allocation’. Select the correct answer using the code given below:
Pavan and Sravan are two persons. If Pavan works with his actual efficiency and Sravan twice of his actual efficiency then it takes 25 days to complete the work. But If Pavan works twice of his actual efficiency and Sravan with his normal efficiency then the work is completed in 20 days. How many days would it take if Sravan alone works with his actual efficiency (in Days)?
