The "conventional wisdom" answer is about 30 to 34% for piston engines and about 20% for gas turbines. It is of course possible to achieve better and worse figures in real life, but these are the types of figures that JAR exams would be looking for.

You quoted only three figures. Could it be that the fourth option was somewhere in the 20 to 30% range?
