Volumetric efficiency of a compressor without clearance volume

Volumetric efficiency of a compressor without clearance volume Correct Answer Is not dependent upon compression ratio

A compressor's volumetric efficiency (V) is defined by the ratio of the actual volume of gas that it could suck if there was no such thing as clearance volume.
Therefore, a compressor with less clearance volume should be more volumetrically efficient.
