Initially $\eta=\frac{\mathrm{T}_{1}-\mathrm{T}_{2}}{\mathrm{T}_{1}} \Rightarrow 0.5=\frac{\mathrm{T}_{1}-(273+7)}{\mathrm{T}_{1}}$

$\Rightarrow \frac{1}{2}=\frac{\mathrm{T}_{1}-280}{\mathrm{T}_{1}} \Rightarrow \mathrm{T}_{1}=560 \mathrm{K}$

Finally $\eta_{1}^{\prime}=\frac{T_{1}^{\prime}-T_{2}}{T_{1}^{\prime}} \Rightarrow 0.7=\frac{T_{1}^{\prime}-(273+7)}{T_{1}^{\prime}}$

$\Rightarrow \mathrm{T}_{1}^{\prime}=933 \mathrm{K}$
