Temperature of a cold reservoir of a Carnot engine is \(127^{\circ} \mathrm{C}\). If the efficiency of the Carnot engine is \(20 \%\), then the temperature of the hot reservoir is

  1. A \(500^{\circ} \mathrm{C}\)
  2. B \(227^{\circ} \mathrm{C}\)
  3. C \(273^{\circ} \mathrm{C}\)
  4. D \(400^{\circ} \mathrm{C}\)
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(B) \(227^{\circ} \mathrm{C}\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

As \(\eta=1-\frac{\mathrm{T}_{\mathrm{C}}}{\mathrm{T}_{\mathrm{H}}} \Rightarrow 0.2=1-\frac{400}{\mathrm{~T}_{\mathrm{H}}}\)…
