An ideal Carnot's engine with an efficiency of \(30 \%\) operates between a source and a sink. If the temperature of the source is \(500 \mathrm{~K}\), that of the sink is

  1. A \(27^{\circ} \mathrm{C}\)
  2. B \(57^{\circ} \mathrm{C}\)
  3. C \(77^{\circ} \mathrm{C}\)
  4. D \(107^{\circ} \mathrm{C}\)
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(C) \(77^{\circ} \mathrm{C}\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

Efficiency of Carnot's engine, \(\eta=30 \%=0.3\) Temperature of source, \(T_1=500 \mathrm{~K}\) Temperature of sink, \(T_2=\) ? We know that, efficiency of Carnot engine,…
