The efficiency of an ideal Carnot engine working between temperatures \(T_1\) and \(T_2\) is \(1 / 3\). If the temperature of the sink is reduced by \(40 \%\), then its efficiency will be

  1. A \(50 \%\)
  2. B \(25 \%\)
  3. C \(60 \%\)
  4. D \(75 \%\)
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(C) \(60 \%\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

Efficiency of Carnot engine, \(\eta=\frac{1}{3}\) But \(\eta=1-\frac{T_2}{T_1}\) where, \(T_1=\) and temperature of fource \(T_2=\) temperature of sink.…
