An engine is supposed to operate between two reservoirs at temperatures $727^oC$ and $227^oC$. The maximum possible efficiency of such an engine is:

$A$ Carnot engine whose efficiency is $40 \%$,receives heat at $500 \ K$. If the efficiency is to be $50 \%$,the source temperature for the same exhaust temperature is (in $K$)

The maximum possible efficiency of a heat engine is ...........

In a Carnot engine,the temperature of the reservoir is $527^{\circ} C$ and that of the sink is $200 \; K$. If the work done by the engine when it transfers heat from the reservoir to the sink is $12000 \; kJ$,the quantity of heat absorbed by the engine from the reservoir is $x \times 10^{6} \; J$. Find the value of $x$.
