Let η1 is the efficiency of an engine at T1=447°C and T2=147°C while η2 is the efficiency at T1=947°C and T2=47°C. The ratio η1η2 will be
  1. 0.41
  2. 0.56
  3. 0.73
  4. 0.70

Solution

The efficiency of an engine is given by η=1-TLTH. Here, TL and TH are in Kelvin scale.

η1=1-147+273447+273=1-420720

η1=300720

And η2=1-47+273947+273=1-3201220

η2=9001220

η1η2=300720×1220900=12272×3

η1η2=0.56
