In cyclic photophosphorylation, it is estimated that two electrons must be passed through the cycle to pump

Question:

In cyclic photophosphorylation, it is estimated that two electrons must be passed through the cycle to pump enough protons to generate one ATP. Assuming that the ∆G for hydrolysis of ATP under conditions existing in the chloroplast is about -50 kJ>mol, what is the corresponding percent efficiency of cyclic photophosphorylation, using light of 700 nm?
