The temperature-entropy diagram of a reversible engine cycle is given in the figure. Its efficiency is

The temperature-entropy diagram of a reversible engine cycle is given in the figure. Its efficiency is
  1. $1 / 2$
  2. $1 / 4$
  3. $1 / 3$
  4. $2 / 3$

Solution


$\eta=\frac{\Delta \mathrm{W}}{\mathrm{Q}_{\mathrm{BC}}}=\frac{\frac{\mathrm{S}_0 \mathrm{~T}_0}{2}}{\frac{3 \mathrm{~S}_0 \mathrm{~T}_0}{2}}=1 / 3$
