An engine performs $2000 \,J$ of mechanical work and discards $4000 \,J$ of heat each cycle. What is the thermal efficiency of the engine (in $\%$)?

$A$ Carnot's engine has an efficiency of $25 \%$ when its sink is at $27^{\circ} C$. If it has to be increased to $40 \%$,what should be the temperature of the sink keeping the temperature of the source constant (in $K$)?

$A$ Carnot engine with efficiency $50\%$ takes heat from a source at $600\text{ K}$. To increase the efficiency by $20\%$, keeping the temperature of the sink the same, the new temperature of the source will be: (in $\text{ K}$)
