From the chapter: Machine Design for Farm Machinery: Gears, Belts, Chains, Overload Safety Devices and Measurement on Machine Elements

A worm and worm-wheel drive is chosen for a farm machine mainly because it:

Show the answer and why

Answer: A.

A single-start worm advances the wheel by one tooth per revolution, so ratios of 20:1 to 60:1 come in one stage, and with a small lead angle the wheel cannot drive the worm back. The price is sliding friction, which makes worm drives among the least efficient — the tempting "highest efficiency" option is the opposite of the truth.
