$A$ Carnot engine $A$ working between temperatures $600 \ K$ and $T$ $(T < 600 \ K)$ and another Carnot engine $B$ working between temperatures $T$ $(T > 400 \ K)$ and $400 \ K$ are connected in series. If the work done by both the engines is the same, then $T =$ (in $K$)

If a source is at a temperature $T_1$ and a sink is at a temperature $T_2$,the efficiency of the Carnot engine is maximum when

The efficiency of a Carnot engine is $25 \%$,when the temperature of the sink is $300 \ K$. The increase in the temperature of the source required for the efficiency to become $50 \%$ is (in $K$)

An ideal heat engine operates on a Carnot cycle between $227\,^{\circ}C$ and $127\,^{\circ}C$. It absorbs $6 \times 10^4\, \text{cal}$ at the higher temperature. The amount of heat converted into work is equal to:

An engine operating between the boiling and freezing points of water will have:
$1.$ Efficiency more than $27 \%$
$2.$ Efficiency less than the efficiency of a Carnot engine operating between the same two temperatures.
$3.$ Efficiency equal to $27 \%$
$4.$ Efficiency less than $27 \%$
