If the temperature of the sink is at absolute zero,then the efficiency of the Carnot engine will be ........ $\%$

$A$ Carnot engine operating between two reservoirs has an efficiency of $\frac{1}{3}$. When the temperature of the cold reservoir is raised by $x$,its efficiency decreases to $\frac{1}{6}$. The value of $x$,if the temperature of the hot reservoir is $99^{\circ} C$,will be $........ K$.

Three designs are proposed for an engine which is to operate between $500 \ K$ and $300 \ K$. Design $A$ claims to produce $150 \ J$ of work per $1000 \ J$ of heat input, design $B$ $450 \ J$ of work per $1000 \ J$, and design $C$ $300 \ J$ of work per $1000 \ J$. Which of the designs would you choose?
