$A$ Carnot engine has an efficiency of $50 \%$. If the temperature of the sink is reduced by $40 \, K$,its efficiency increases by $30 \%$. The temperature of the source will be $.... \, K$.

The temperature of the sink of a Carnot engine is $27^\circ C$. The efficiency of the engine is $25\%$. Then the temperature of the source is ...... $^\circ C$.

The efficiency of a Carnot engine which operates between the two temperatures $T_{1} = 500 \ K$ and $T_{2} = 300 \ K$ is: (in $\%$)

$A$ Carnot engine operates between a source and a sink. The efficiency of the engine is $40 \%$ and the temperature of the sink is $27^{\circ} C$. If the efficiency is to be increased to $50 \%$,then the temperature of the source must be increased by: (in $K$)

Two Carnot engines $A$ and $B$ are operated in succession. The first one,$A$,receives heat from a source at $T_1 = 800 \ K$ and rejects heat to a sink at $T_2 \ K$. The second engine,$B$,receives the heat rejected by the first engine and rejects heat to another sink at $T_3 = 300 \ K$. If the work outputs of the two engines are equal,then the value of $T_2$ is .... $K$.
