    3. may be less than 100% or more than 100%
    4. will be more than 100% for pile groups in cohesion less soils and less than 100% for those in cohesive soils.
Correct Option: C

Group efficiency,

ηg =
Qg × 100
n × Qu

It will be greater than or less than 100. It will be usually greater than 100% for loose and medium dense sands and less than 100% for dense sands.
