Questions  

Even Carnot engine cannot give 100% efficiency because we cannot :

a
Prevent radiation
b
Find ideal sources
c
Reach absolute zero temperature for sink
d
Eliminate friction

detailed solution

Correct option is C

percentage efficiency of carnot engine is η=(1−T2T1)×100  where T2=temperature of cold body or temperature of sink   T1=temperature of hot body or temperature of source  to get 100% efficiency,T2 (the temperature of cold body) should be 0K  to achieve 0K is not possible hence even carnot engine cannot give 100% efficiency
