When the temperature difference between the source and sink increases,the efficiency of the heat engine

$A$ Carnot engine takes $3 \times 10^6 \, \text{cal}$ of heat from a reservoir at $627^{\circ}C$ and gives it to a sink at $27^{\circ}C$. The work done by the engine is:

Three Carnot engines operate in series between a heat source at temperature $T_1$ and a heat sink at a temperature $T_4$. There are two other reservoirs at temperatures $T_2$ and $T_3$. If the three engines are equally efficient,find the values of $T_2$ and $T_3$ in terms of $T_1$ and $T_4$,given that $T_1 > T_2 > T_3 > T_4$.
