In a Carnot engine,when ${T_2} = {0^o}C$ and ${T_1} = {200^o}C$,its efficiency is ${\eta _1}$. When ${T_1} = {0^o}C$ and ${T_2} = -{200^o}C$,its efficiency is ${\eta _2}$. What is the ratio ${\eta _1}/{\eta _2}$?

The efficiency of a Carnot engine is $50 \%$ when the temperature of the sink is $500 \ K$. If the efficiency of the Carnot engine is to be increased to $60 \%$,what should be the temperature of the sink,keeping the temperature of the source constant (in $K$)?
