    A reversible engine converts 1/6 part of the heat absorbed from source into work. When the temperature of sink is reduced by\[{{62}^{o}}C\], then its efficiency is doubled. Temperature of source is:

    A)  372K                                    

    B)  272K

    C)  172K                                    

    D)  62K

    Correct Answer: A

    Solution :

    Let the temperature of source and sink be \[{{T}_{1}}\] and \[{{T}_{2}}\](K) Efficiency in first case: \[{{\eta }_{1}}=\frac{1}{6}=\frac{({{T}_{1}}-{{T}_{2}})}{{{T}_{1}}}\] Efficiency in second case:             \[{{\eta }_{2}}=2\times \frac{1}{6}=\frac{{{T}_{1}}-({{T}_{2}}-62)}{{{T}_{1}}}\] [Temperature change in \[{}^\circ C\] and K will be same]             or \[\frac{1}{3}=\frac{({{T}_{1}}-{{T}_{2}})}{{{T}_{1}}}+\frac{62}{{{T}_{1}}}\]             \[\frac{62}{{{T}_{1}}}\,=\frac{1}{3}\,-\frac{1}{6}\,=\frac{1}{6}\]             \[\therefore \,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,{{T}_{1}}\,=62\times 6\,=372K\]
