    A Carnot engine works between temperature\[{{727}^{o}}C\]and\[{{27}^{o}}C\]. The efficiency of the engine is

    A) \[70%\]                               

    B) \[35%\]

    C) \[90%\]                               

    D) \[100%\]

    Correct Answer: A

    Solution :

    Using the relation for the efficiency of Carnot engine. We have                 \[\eta =\left( 1-\frac{{{T}_{2}}}{{{T}_{1}}} \right)\times 100\] (given:\[{{T}_{2}}=273+27=300\,\,K\] \[{{T}_{1}}=727+273=1000\,\,K)\]                 \[\eta =\left( 1-\frac{300}{1000} \right)\times 100\]                 \[=70%\]
