In a Carnot engine,the work done by the working substance is equivalent to:

  • A
    Heat taken from the source
  • B
    Heat given to the sink
  • C
    Difference between heat taken from the source and heat given to the sink
  • D
    Ratio of heat taken and heat given

Given below are two statements: one is labelled as Assertion $A$ and the other is labelled as Reason $R$.
Assertion $A$: Efficiency of a reversible heat engine will be highest at $-273^{\circ} C$ temperature of cold reservoir.
Reason $R$: The efficiency of Carnot's engine depends not only on the temperature of the cold reservoir but it depends on the temperature of the hot reservoir too and is given as $\eta = (1 - \frac{T_2}{T_1})$.
In the light of the above statements,choose the correct answer from the options given below:

Two Carnot engines $A$ and $B$ are operated in series. Engine $A$ receives heat from a reservoir at $600\,K$ and rejects heat to a reservoir at temperature $T$. Engine $B$ receives heat rejected by engine $A$ and in turn rejects it to a reservoir at $100\,K$. If the efficiencies of the two engines $A$ and $B$ are equal,what is the value of the intermediate temperature $T$ and the ratio of their efficiencies $\frac{\eta_A}{\eta_B}$?

Two Carnot engines $A$ and $B$ operate in series such that engine $A$ absorbs heat $Q_1$ at temperature $T_1$ and rejects heat $Q$ to a sink at temperature $T$. Engine $B$ absorbs half of the heat rejected by engine $A$ (i.e.,$Q/2$) and rejects heat $Q_3$ to the sink at temperature $T_3$. When the work done in both cases is equal,the value of $T$ is:

The temperature of the sink of a Carnot engine is $300 \,K$ and the efficiency of the engine is $0.25$. If the temperature of the source of the engine is increased by $100 \,K$, the efficiency of the engine increases by:

$A$ Carnot engine operates between $627^{\circ}C$ and $227^{\circ}C$. The efficiency of the Carnot engine is ....... $\%$
