Answer

a) $3%$ b) $1.67%$ c) $1.67%$

Work Step by Step

The variation in efficiency is proportional to the variation in temperature, so: a) $3\%$ for each $^{\circ}C$ = $3\%$ for each $K$ b) A change of $1^{\circ}C$ in temperature corresponds to a change of $1.8^{\circ}F$, so: $\frac{3}{1.8}=1.67\%$ for each $^{\circ}F$ c) A change of 1K in temperature corresponds to a change of $1.8^{\circ}R$, so: $\frac{3}{1.8}=1.67\%$ for each $R$
