In a Carnot engine, when T2 = 00C and T1 = + 2000C its efficiency is η1 and when T1 = 00C and T2 = 2000C, Its efficiency is η2, then what is η1/η2 

a
0.577
b
0.733
c
0.638
d
Cannot be calculated

detailed solution

Correct option is A

η=1−T2T1=T1−T2T1⇒η1=(473−273)473=200473 and η2=273−73273=200273So required ratio η1η2=273473=0.577
