(B) The efficiency $\eta$ of a Carnot engine is given by $\eta = 1 - \frac{T_C}{T_H}$.For the first case, $\eta_1 = \frac{1}{6} = 1 - \frac{T_C}{T_H}$, which implies $\frac{T_C}{T_H} = 1 - \frac{1}{6} = \frac{5}{6}$, so $T_C = \frac{5}{6} T_H$.For the second case, the sink temperature becomes $T_C' = T_C - 64$. The new efficiency is $\eta_2 = \frac{1}{3} = 1 - \frac{T_C - 64}{T_H}$.This implies $\frac{T_C - 64}{T_H} = 1 - \frac{1}{3} = \frac{2}{3}$, so $T_C - 64 = \frac{2}{3} T_H$.Substituting $T_C = \frac{5}{6} T_H$ into the second equation: $\frac{5}{6} T_H - 64 = \frac{2}{3} T_H$.Rearranging gives $(\frac{5}{6} - \frac{4}{6}) T_H = 64$, which means $\frac{1}{6} T_H = 64$, so $T_H = 384 	ext{ K}$.Then $T_C = \frac{5}{6} 	imes 384 = 5 	imes 64 = 320 	ext{ K}$.Thus, $T_H = 384 	ext{ K}$ and $T_C = 320 	ext{ K}$.

$A$ Carnot engine having efficiency $\frac{1}{6}$ operates between the source temperature $T_H$ and the sink temperature $T_C$. Its efficiency increases to $\frac{1}{3}$ when $T_C$ is decreased by $64 \text{ K}$. The temperatures $T_H$ and $T_C$ are respectively:
