$A$ Carnot engine absorbs heat from a reservoir maintained at temperature $1000 \,K$. The engine rejects heat to a reservoir whose temperature is $T$. If the magnitude of absorbed heat is $400 \,J$ and work performed is $300 \,J$, then the value of $T$ is (in $\,K$)

Explain why the efficiency of a Carnot engine cannot be $100\%$?

Temperature of a cold reservoir of a Carnot engine is $127^{\circ} C$. If the efficiency of the Carnot engine is $20 \%$,then the temperature of the hot reservoir is (in $^{\circ} C$)
