This question has Statement $1$ and Statement $2.$ Of the four choices given after the Statements,choose the one that best describes the two Statements.
Statement $1 :$ An inventor claims to have constructed an engine that has an efficiency of $30\%$ when operated between the boiling and freezing points of water. This is not possible.
Statement $2:$ The efficiency of a real engine is always less than the efficiency of a Carnot engine operating between the same two temperatures.

View SolutionGiven 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:
