In a Carnot engine,if the absolute temperature of the source is $25 \%$ more than the absolute temperature of the sink,then the efficiency of the engine is (in $\%$)

$A$ reversible engine converts one-sixth of the heat input into work. When the temperature of the sink is reduced by $62^\circ C$,the efficiency of the engine is doubled. The temperatures of the source and sink are:
