A carnot engine operation between temperature $T_1$ and $T_2$ has efficiency $\frac{1}{6}$. When $T_2$ is lowered by $62\, K$, its efficiency increase to $\frac{1}{3}$. Then $T_1$ and $T_2$ are, respectively
A
$310\, K$ and $248\, K$
B
$372\, K$ and $310\, K$
C
$372\, K$ and $330\, K$
D
$330\, K$ and $268\, K$
Solution
By $\eta=1-\frac{\mathrm{T}_{2}}{\mathrm{T}_{1}}$
$\frac{1}{6}=1-\frac{\mathrm{T}_{2}}{\mathrm{T}_{1}} \Rightarrow \frac{\mathrm{T}_{2}}{\mathrm{T}_{1}}=\frac{5}{6}$
$\ldots(i)$
and $\frac{1}{3}=1-\frac{\left(\mathrm{T}_{2}-62\right)}{\mathrm{T}_{1}}$ $…(ii)$
By solving eq. $(i)$ $\&$ $(ii),$
$\mathrm{T}_{1}=372 \mathrm{K}$
$\mathrm{T}_{2}=310 \mathrm{K}$
