An engine has an efficiency of 1/61 / 6. When the temperature of sink is reduced by 62∘C62^{\circ} \mathrm{C}, its efficiency is doubled. Temperatures of the source is:

Options

  1. A37∘C37^{\circ} \mathrm{C}
  2. B62∘C62^{\circ} \mathrm{C}
  3. C99∘C99^{\circ} \mathrm{C}
  4. D124∘C124^{\circ} \mathrm{C}

Correct answer

C. 99∘C99^{\circ} \mathrm{C}

Step-by-step solution

Efficiency of an engine, (\quad \eta=1-T2T1where\frac{T_2}{T_1}whereT_1istheis thetemperature of the source and T2T_2 is the temperature of the sink. (\therefore \quad\frac{1}{6}=1-\frac{T_2}{T_1} \quador,(or, (\quad\frac{T_2}{T_1}=\frac{5}{6} (\therefore \quad 2 ×\times\frac{1}{6}=1-(T2−62)T1\frac{\left(T_2-62\right)}{T_1} or, (13=1−\frac{1}{3}=1-\frac{\left(T_2-62\right)}{T_1}or,(or, (\frac{2}{3}=\frac{T_2-62}{T_1} or, 2T1=3T2−1862 T_1=3 T_2-186 or, (2 T_1=3 \left[\frac{5}{6}\right]T_1-186 \quad) [using (i)] (\therefore \quad \left[\frac{5}{2}-2\right] T_1=186 \quad) or, (\quad T12=186)or,(T1=372\frac{T_1}{2}=186) or, (T_1=372\mathrm{~K}=99^{{}^{\circ}} \mathrm{C}.
