In a Carnot engine,the work done by the working substance is equivalent to:

$A$ Carnot engine $(E)$ is working between two temperatures $473 \ K$ and $273 \ K$. In a new system,two engines are used: engine $E_1$ works between $473 \ K$ and $373 \ K$,and engine $E_2$ works between $373 \ K$ and $273 \ K$. If $\eta_{12}$,$\eta_1$,and $\eta_2$ are the efficiencies of the engines $E$,$E_1$,and $E_2$ respectively,then:

Efficiency of a heat engine whose sink is at temperature of $300 \,K$ is $40 \%$. To increase the efficiency to $60 \%$, keeping the sink temperature constant, the source temperature must be increased by (in $\,K$)

Two Carnot engines $A$ and $B$ are operated in series. The engine $A$ receives heat from the source at temperature $T_1$ and rejects the heat to the sink at temperature $T$. The second engine $B$ receives the heat at temperature $T$ and rejects to its sink at temperature $T_2$. For what value of $T$ are the efficiencies of the two engines equal?
