The efficiency of the man is 20%.

(1) is correct option.

Explanation:

Given that,

Mass of man M= 80 kg

Load m= 20 kg

Time = 20 sec

Number of steps = 40

Width = 20 cm

Height = 15 cm

We need to calculate the input work done by the man

Using formula of work done

W_{in}=(m+M)gh

Put the value into the formula

W_{in}=(80+20)gh

W_{in}=100gh

We need to calculate the output work done by the man

Using formula of work done

W_{out}=mgh

Put the value into the formula

W_{out}=20gh

We need to calculate the efficiency of the man

Using formula of efficiency

\eta=\dfrac{W_{out}}{W_{in}}

Put the value into the formula

\eta=\dfrac{20gh}{100gh}

\eta=0.2\times100

\eta=20%

Hence, The efficiency of the man is 20%.
