    The coefficient of performance of a refrigerator is 5. If the temperature inside freezer is \[-20{}^\circ C\], the temperature of the surroundings to which it rejects heat is                                                                        

    A)  \[{{31}^{\text{o}}}C\]

    B)  \[{{41}^{\text{o}}}C\]  

    C)  \[{{11}^{\text{o}}}C\]             

    D)         \[{{21}^{\text{o}}}C\]

    Correct Answer: A

    Solution :

    Key Concept Coefficient of performance (\[\beta \]) of a refrigerator is defined, as the ratio of quantity of heat removed per cycle (\[{{O}_{2}}\]) to the work done on the working substance per cycle to remove this heat. Given, coefficient of performance of a refrigerator, \[\beta =5\] Temperature of surface i.e. inside freezer, \[{{T}_{2}}={{20}^{{}^\circ }}C=-20+273=253K\] Temperature of surrounding i.e. heat rejected outside \[{{T}_{1}}=?\] So.  \[\beta =\frac{{{T}_{2}}}{{{T}_{1}}-{{T}_{2}}}\Rightarrow 5=\frac{253}{{{T}_{1}}-253}\] \[\,\Rightarrow \,\,\,\,\,\,\,5{{T}_{1}}-1266=253\] \[\,\Rightarrow \,\,\,\,\,\,\,5{{T}_{1}}-1518\]                 \[{{T}_{1}}=\frac{1518}{5}=303.6K\]                 \[{{T}_{1}}=303.6-273=31{{\,}^{{}^\circ }}C\]
