The (W/Q) of a Carnot engine is 1/6, now the temperature of sink is reduced by 62oC, then this ratio becomes twice, therefore the initial temperature of the sink and source are respectively
- A33oC, 67oC
- B37oC, 99oC
- C67oC, 33oC
- D97 K, 37 K

Correct answer: B
Initially the efficiency of the engine was
which increases to when the sink temperature reduces by 62º C.
when T2 = sink temperature
, T1 = source temperature
Secondly,
