Detailed Solution

Given work,  W=Q4
Where,  Q= input heat.
Efficiency,  η=WQ=Q/4Q  η=14
Also,  η=1T2T1
Where, T2= temperature of sink
And T1= temperature of source. 
1T2T1=14   (1)
When temperature of sink is reduced by 50 K, 
efficiency becomes  1003%
η=1003×1100=13
So,  1T250T1=13
1T2T1+50T1=13   (2)
Subtracting Eq. (2) from Eq. (1), we get 
50T1=1314=112
T1=600K
T2=34×600=450K
