A carnot engine is made to work between $200\,^oC$ and $0\,^oC$ first and then between $0\,^oC$ and $-200\,^oC$. The ratio of efficiencies $\left( {\frac{{{\eta _2}}}{{{\eta _1}}}} \right)$ of the engine in two cases is
  • A$1:1.5$
  • B$1:1$
  • C$1:2$
  • D$1.73:1$

    One mole of a monoatomic ideal gas $\left(c_{ V }=\frac{3}{2} R \right)$ undergoes a cycle where it first goes isochorically from the state $\left(\frac{3}{2} P _0, V _0\right)$ to $\left( P _0, V _0\right)$, and then is isobarically contracted to the volume $\frac{1}{2} V _0$. It is then taken back to the initial state by a path which is a quarter ellipse on the $P - V$ diagram. The efficiency of this cycle is
