In a Carnot engine,as the gas absorbs heat energy from the source,the temperature of the source

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

$A$ Carnot heat engine has an efficiency of $50 \%$. The temperature of the sink is maintained at $500 \ K$. To increase the efficiency up to $80 \%$,the required increment in the source temperature is: (in $K$)

The efficiency of an ideal Carnot engine working between temperatures $T_1$ and $T_2$ is $1/3$. If the temperature of the sink is reduced by $40 \%$,then its efficiency will be: (in $\%$)
