Answer / praveen
You can,
Load runner or any tool is to validate the fucntionality of
the requerments. After analysing the functional requirement
only we send the product(combination of fuctions) to know
the performance. But in Functional tools we cant generate
the users(vitual).
So Loadrunner = n * Functional tools (N=No of users)

Answer / rajaram
we cannot use it completely as a functionality tool.
rather,Functionality under load can be tested by running
several Vusers concurrently. By increasing the amount of
Vusers, we can determine how much load the server can
sustain.

Answer / ravi v v
Actually, The Question looks quite confusing.
If the Question is asking about to test ultimately "LOAD",
then definitly, WR is not a tool to do so. We must use any
Perfomance Tools like LR, Jmeter, Open Sta...etc.,.
also, Performace Testing is a Non Functional Activity.
Hence the tools are Non Functional tools. On flip side, the
WR is Pure Functional Tool and hence used to test the
functional requirments.
if question is in other way around, The 7th Answer is
correct one.

Answer / santosh
First we have to understand difference between load Runner
& winruner, winrunner is totally fuctional & regression
testing tool other hand loadrunner is a load testing tool,
so here we cant use the winrunner & loadrunner for same
purpose both are totally different.
