In a Carnot engine,as the gas absorbs heat energy from the source,the temperature of the source

An ideal gas heat engine operates in a Carnot cycle between $227^{\circ}C$ and $127^{\circ}C$. It absorbs $6\,kcal$ at the higher temperature. The amount of heat (in $kcal$) converted into work is equal to

The efficiency of a Carnot engine is $50 \%$ when the temperature of the sink is $500 \ K$. If the efficiency of the Carnot engine is to be increased to $60 \%$,what should be the temperature of the sink,keeping the temperature of the source constant (in $K$)?

Who first proposed (invented) the Carnot engine?

Let $\eta_{1}$ be the efficiency of a Carnot engine at $T_{H}=447^{\circ}C$ and $T_{L}=147^{\circ}C$,while $\eta_{2}$ is the efficiency at $T_{H}=947^{\circ}C$ and $T_{L}=47^{\circ}C$. The ratio $\frac{\eta_{1}}{\eta_{2}}$ will be:
