The efficiency of the ramp can be calculated by dividing the output work (300 joules) by the input work (1200 joules) and then multiplying by 100.
Efficiency = (300 joules / 1200 joules) x 100
Simplifying this expression, we find:
Efficiency = 0.25 x 100 = 25 %
Therefore, the efficiency of the ramp is 25%.
Answer: A. 25%
