An ideal heat engine working between temperature TH and TL has efficiency η. If both the temperature are raised by 100 K each, the new efficiency of heat engine will be: 

a
equal to η
b
greater than η
c
less than η
d
greater or less than η depending upon the nature of the working substance

detailed solution

Correct option is C

η = TH-TLTHη' = (TH+100)-(tL+100)(TH+100) = TH-TLTH+100    ∴ η' < η
