Explanation / Answer

An approximate equation for the efficiency (E) of an engine is E = 100.(1- 1/5R2) = 100(1-1/R2/5) = 100.(1-R-2/5). If E = 43.94, then we have 100.(1-R-2/5) = 43.94 or, 1-R-2/5 = 43.94/100 = 0.4394 so that R-2/5 = 1-0.4394 = 0.5606 . Then R = ( 0.5606)-5/2 = 1/( 0.5606)5/2 = 1/ 1/0.235305855 = 4.249788005 = 4.25 ( on rounding off to 2 decimal places).
