Question 5

A parcel-sorting conveyor has two operating settings. The data for setting R and the changes made for setting T are shown in the table.

QuantitySetting RSetting T compared with setting R
total energy supplied per cycle800 J25% lower
useful energy transferred per cycle480 J10% lower

A setting meets the operating requirements if its efficiency is at least 70% and it dissipates no more than 200 J per cycle.

Which gives the correct conclusion?

[1]
A

both settings meet both requirements

B

neither setting meets both requirements

C

only setting T meets both requirements

D

only setting R meets both requirements
