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 $\%$)

$A$ Carnot engine operating between temperatures $T_1$ and $T_2$ has efficiency $\frac{1}{6}$. When $T_2$ is lowered by $60\,K$,its efficiency increases to $\frac{1}{3}$. Then $T_1$ and $T_2$ are respectively:

$300 \, cal$ of heat is given to a heat engine and it rejects $225 \, cal$ of heat. If the source temperature is $227^{\circ} C$,then the temperature of the sink will be . . . . . . $^{\circ} C$.

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:

$A$ heat engine operates between a cold reservoir at temperature $T_{2} = 400 \, K$ and a hot reservoir at temperature $T_{1}$. It takes $300 \, J$ of heat from the hot reservoir and delivers $240 \, J$ of heat to the cold reservoir in a cycle. The minimum temperature of the hot reservoir has to be $.... K$.
