One mole of an ideal monoatomic gas undergoes the following four reversible processes:
Step $1$: It is first compressed adiabatically from volume $V_{1}$ to $1 \; m^{3}$.
Step $2$: Then expanded isothermally to volume $10 \; m^{3}$.
Step $3$: Then expanded adiabatically to volume $V_{3}$.
Step $4$: Then compressed isothermally to volume $V_{1}$.
If the efficiency of the above cycle is $3/4$, then $V_{1}$ is ............ $m^{3}$.

If the temperature of the sink is at absolute zero,then the efficiency of the Carnot engine will be ........ $\%$

In a Carnot engine,as the gas gives heat energy to the sink,the temperature of the sink
