A reversible engine converts one-sixth of the heat supplied into work. When the temperature of the sink is reduced by 62^ C , the efficiency of the engine is doubled. The temperatures of the source and sink are
Options
- A99^ C , 37^ C
- B80^ C , 37^ C
- C95^ C , 37^ C
- D90^ C , 37^ C
Correct answer
A. 99^ C , 37^ C
Step-by-step solution
The efficiency of engine, = T₁-T₂ T₁ According to question, 2 = T₁- (T₂-62 ) T₁ or 1 2 = T₁-T₂ (T₁-T₂ )+62 or 62= (T₁-T₂ ) Only option (a) satisfies the condition.
