    Two carnot engines $A$ and $B$ operate in series such that engine $A$ absorbs heat at $T_{1}$ and rejects heat to a sink at temperature $T$. Engine $B$ absorbs half of the heat rejected by engine $A$ and rejects heat to the sink at ${T}_{3}$. When workdone in both the cases is equal, the value of ${T}$ is
