                    An engine has an efficiency of \[\frac{1}{6}\]. When the temperature of sink is reduced by \[{{62}^{\text{o}}}C,\] its efficiency is doubled.  Temperature of the source is:

    A)                                                                                                                                            \[{{124}^{\text{o}}}C\]

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

    C)                 \[{{62}^{\text{o}}}C\]

    D)                 \[{{99}^{\text{o}}}C\]

    Correct Answer: D

    Solution :

                    Efficiency of engine is given by                 \[\eta =1-\frac{{{T}_{2}}}{{{T}_{1}}}\] \[\therefore \frac{{{T}_{2}}}{{{T}_{1}}}=1-\eta =1-\frac{1}{6}=\frac{5}{6}....(i)\]                 In other case,                 \[\frac{{{T}_{2}}-62}{{{T}_{1}}}=1-\eta =1-\frac{2}{6}=\frac{2}{3}......(ii)\]                 Using Eq. (i),                 \[{{T}_{2}}-62=\frac{2}{3}\,{{T}_{1}}=\frac{2}{3}\times \frac{6}{5}{{T}_{2}}\] \[or\frac{1}{5}{{T}_{2}}=62\] \[\therefore {{T}_{2}}=310\,K\,=310-{{273}^{o}}C\]                 \[={{37}^{o}}C\]                 Hence,   \[{{T}_{1}}=\frac{6}{5}{{T}_{2}}=\frac{6}{5}\times 310\]                 = 372K                 = 372-273                 \[={{99}^{\text{o}}}C\]                 Hence, temperature of source is \[{{99}^{\text{o}}}C\].
