When the temperature difference between the source and sink increases,the efficiency of the heat engine

The efficiency of a Carnot engine is $\eta$ when its hot and cold reservoirs are maintained at temperatures $T_1$ and $T_2$,respectively. To increase the efficiency to $1.5 \eta$,the increase in temperature $(\Delta T)$ of the hot reservoir,while keeping the cold reservoir constant at $T_2$,is

$A$ Carnot engine having an efficiency of $40\%$ takes heat from a source maintained at a temperature of $500 \ K$. If the efficiency is to be increased to $60\%$ while keeping the sink temperature constant,what should be the new source temperature in $K$?
