An engine is supposed to operate between two reservoirs at temperatures $727^oC$ and $227^oC$. The maximum possible efficiency of such an engine is:

$A$ Carnot engine having an efficiency of $40\%$ takes heat from a source maintained at a temperature of $500 \ K$. If the efficiency is to be increased to $60\%$ while keeping the sink temperature constant,what should be the new source temperature in $K$?

In a Carnot engine,when the temperatures are $T_2 = 0^{\circ} C$ and $T_1 = 200^{\circ} C$,its efficiency is $\eta_1$. When the temperatures are $T_1 = 0^{\circ} C$ and $T_2 = -200^{\circ} C$,its efficiency is $\eta_2$. Then the value of $\frac{\eta_1}{\eta_2}$ is:

For which of the following options will the efficiency of a Carnot engine be the highest?
