$A$ Carnot engine whose efficiency is $40\%$ takes in heat from a source maintained at a temperature of $500 \ K$. It is desired to have an engine of efficiency $60\%$. Then,the intake temperature for the same exhaust (sink) temperature must be (in $K$)

$A$ steam engine delivers $5.4 \times 10^{8} \;J$ of work per minute and receives $3.6 \times 10^{9} \;J$ of heat per minute from its boiler. What is the efficiency of the engine? How much heat is wasted per minute?

The Carnot cycle (reversible) of a gas represented by a Pressure-Volume $(P-V)$ curve is shown in the diagram. Consider the following statements:
$I.$ Area $ABCD =$ Work done by the gas
$II.$ Area $ABCD =$ Net heat absorbed
$III.$ Change in the internal energy in the cycle $= 0$
Which of these are correct?

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 ............ $m^{3}$.

$A$ Carnot engine operating between temperatures $600 \,K$ and $300 \,K$ absorbs $800 \,J$ of heat from the source. The mechanical work done per cycle is (in $\,J$)
