I am most obliged if someone can clear my doubts on pulley system: 1. Why is a movable pulley more efficient than a fixed pulley? 2. What governs the efficiency of a movable pulley system?

By movable I take it you mean a pully that turns on an axis. A moveable pully is more efficient because the rope that goes through the pully does not have to slide over any surfaces. Thus there is little energy lost to `sliding' friction. The less friction a pully has the more efficient it is. If the axle of the pully is well lubricated it will be more efficient.
