The effficiency would be 66.4%[(100-30)*(100-20)*(100-40)/1000000]

In all of the three mechanisms out of 100%
first looses 70% efficiency,
second looses 80% of 30%
efficiency of the first and third loses 60% of 80% of 30%
Then the lack of efficiency is 60% of 80% of 30% = 14.4
total efficiency is (100 - 14.4) = 85.6 (ans)
