Given: Temperature of cold body, $T_2= 250\,K$ temperature of hot body; $T_1  = 300\, K$ Heat received, $Q_2= 500\, cal$ work done, $W =$  ?

Effociency$ = 1 - \frac{{{T_2}}}{{{T_1}}} = \frac{W}{{{Q_2} + W}}$

$ \Rightarrow 1 - \frac{{250}}{{300}} = \frac{W}{{{Q_2} + W}}$

$W = \frac{{{Q_2}}}{5} = \frac{{500 \times 4.2}}{5}\,\,J = 420\,J$
