                    An engine takes heat from a reservoir and converts its 1/6 part into work. By decreasing temperature of sink by \[{{62}^{\text{o}}}C,\] its efficiency becomes double. The temperatures of source and sink must be:               

    A)                 \[{{90}^{\text{o}}}C,\,{{37}^{\text{o}}}C\]

    B)                 \[{{99}^{\text{o}}}C,\,{{37}^{\text{o}}}C\]

    C)                 \[{{372}^{\text{o}}}C,\,{{37}^{\text{o}}}C\]

    D)                 \[{{206}^{\text{o}}}C,\,{{37}^{\text{o}}}C\]

    Correct Answer: B

    Solution :

                    Key Idea: The efficiency of heat engine is the ratio of work done to the heat taken from the source.                 If \[{{T}_{1}}\] is temperature of source and \[{{T}_{2}}\] the temperature of sink, the efficiency of engine                 \[\eta =\frac{Work\,done(W)}{Heat\,taken\,({{Q}_{1}})}\]                 \[=1-\frac{{{T}_{2}}}{{{T}_{1}}}\]                 \[\therefore 1-\frac{{{T}_{2}}}{{{T}_{1}}}=\frac{1}{6}\]                   ....(i)                 When temperature of sink is reduced by 62°C then                 \[T_{2}^{'}={{T}_{2}}-62\]                 \[\therefore \eta '=1-\frac{T_{2}^{'}}{{{T}_{1}}}\]                 \[Given\,:\,\eta '=2\eta =\frac{2}{6}=\frac{1}{3}\]                 \[\therefore \frac{1}{3}=1-\frac{{{T}_{2}}-62}{{{T}_{1}}}...(ii)\]                 From Eq. (i)                 \[\frac{{{T}_{2}}-62}{{{T}_{1}}}=\frac{2}{3}\]                        .....(iv)                 Dividing Eq. (iii) by Eq. (iv)                 \[\frac{{{T}_{2}}}{{{T}_{2}}-62}=\frac{5}{4}\] \[\Rightarrow 4{{T}_{2}}=5{{T}_{2}}-310\] \[\Rightarrow {{T}_{2}}=310\,K\]                 and from Eq. (iii), we have                 \[\frac{310}{{{T}_{1}}}=\frac{5}{6}\]                 \[\Rightarrow {{T}_{1}}=372\,K\]                 Hence, \[{{T}_{1}}=372\,K=372-273={{99}^{o}}C\]                 and  \[{{T}_{2}}=310\,K=310-273={{37}^{o}}C\]
