    For which of the following combination of working temperatures, the efficiency of Carnots engines is highest?

    A)  100 K, 80 K

    B)  80 K, 60 K

    C)   60 K, 40 K

    D)  40 K, 20 K

    Correct Answer: D

    Solution :

     The efficiency of Carnots engine is \[\eta =\frac{{{T}_{1}}-{{T}_{2}}}{{{T}_{1}}}\] The value of efficiency will be higher if \[{{T}_{1}}-{{T}_{2}}\] is more. As \[{{T}_{1}}-{{T}_{2}}\]is constant in all four cases. Therefore, efficiency will be highest when \[{{T}_{1}}\] is the lowest. Therefore, option  will be correct.
