Given below are two statements : one is labelled as Assertion A and the other is labelled as Reason R. Assertion A : Efficiency of a reversible heat engine will be highest at – 273 ° C temperature of cold reservoir. Reason R : The efficiency of Carnot’s engine depends not only on temperature of cold reservoir but it depends on the temperature of hot reservoir too and is given as η = 1 - T 2 T 1
Options
- AA is true but R is false
- BBoth A and R are true but R is NOT the correct explanation of A
- CA is false but R is true
- DBoth A and R are true and R is the correct explanation of A
Correct answer
D. Both A and R are true and R is the correct explanation of A
Step-by-step solution
As we know, η = 1 - T sin k T s o u r c e maximum value of   η = 1 ⇒ 1 = 1 - T sin k T s o u r c e ⇒ T sin k = 0   K = 273   ° C Therefore, both A and R are true and R is the correct explanation of A.
