Energy conversion efficiency is the ratio between the useful output of an energy conversion machine and the input, in energy terms. The useful output may be electric power, mechanical work, or heat.
That's the machine's "mechanical advantage".
MA ( Mechanical Advantage )
Efficiency is equal to the ratio of work input to work output; for an ideal machine this ratio is equal to 1 or 100%. For a real machine this ratio is always less than 1 because some of the work input is used to overcome mechanical friction within the machine which does not contribute to the work output of the machine.
Efficiency is the common term for any thing. Usually we give input to perform an act and we derive some output because of that. As far as material machines are concerned definitely output power cannot exceed input power due to conservation of energy. Therefore the ratio of the output power to that of input is defined as efficiency of the machine. Usually it will be given in percentage by muliplying the decimal by 100.
efficiencyThe ratio of useful energy to total input energy is called efficiency. It refers to the percentage of the work input that is converted to work output.
It is the efficiency of a machine.

Energy conversion efficiency is the ratio between the useful output of an energy conversion machine and the input, in energy terms. The useful output may be electric power, mechanical work, or heat.

The ratio of output force to input force for a machine is called its mechanical advantage.

efficiency is a product of the input versus the output
The result (ratio) of such a comparison is called the efficiency. Note that total energy output must be equal to energy input (conservation of energy); however, what is relevant for this comparison is the useful energy output.
output/input
The answer is mechanical advantage, not efficiency!
