$A$ Carnot engine,whose efficiency is $40\%$,takes in heat from a source maintained at a temperature of $500\ K$. It is desired to have an engine of efficiency $60\%$. Then,the intake temperature for the same exhaust (sink) temperature must be ....... $K$.

$A$ Carnot engine is made to work between $200\,^{\circ}C$ and $0\,^{\circ}C$ first and then between $0\,^{\circ}C$ and $-200\,^{\circ}C$. The ratio of efficiencies $\left( \frac{\eta_2}{\eta_1} \right)$ of the engine in the two cases is:
