Load must be increase to give a machine MA greater than 1.

Explanation:

We know that,# M.A = # load/ effort #

# =>M.A prop L # [when effort is kept constant]
# => M.A prop 1/ E # [when load is kept constant]
So, being M.A directly proportional to load, it is must to increase the load in-order to give a machine M.A more than 1 or decrease the load to give a machine M.A smaller than 1.
