The efficiency of a Carnot heat engine is $0.5$ when the temperature of the source is $T_{1}$ and that of the sink is $T_{2}$. The efficiency of another Carnot heat engine is also $0.5$. The temperatures of the source and sink of the second engine are respectively:

  • A
    $2 \,T_{1}, 2 \,T_{2}$
  • B
    $2 \,T_{1}, \frac{T_{2}}{2}$
  • C
    $T_{1}+5, \,T_{2}-5$
  • D
    $T_{1}+10, \,T_{2}-10$

$A$ Carnot engine with efficiency $\eta$ operates between two heat reservoirs with temperatures $T_1$ and $T_2$, where $T_1 > T_2$. If only $T_1$ is changed by $0.4 \%$, the change in efficiency is $\Delta \eta_1$, whereas if only $T_2$ is changed by $0.2 \%$, the efficiency is changed by $\Delta \eta_2$. The ratio $\frac{\Delta \eta_1}{\Delta \eta_2}$ is approximately,
