  1. A 250 J
  2. B 50 J
  3. C 200 J
  4. D 300 J
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(D) 300 J

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

\(Q_H = Q_L \left(1 + \frac{1}{COP}\right)\) \(Q_H = 250 \text{ J} \left(1 + \frac{1}{5}\right) = 250 \text{ J} \left(\frac{6}{5}\right) = 300 \text{ J}\)
