$W _{ ABCDA }=2 P _{0} V _{0}$

$Q_{\text {in }}=Q_{A B}+Q_{B C}$

$Q _{ AB }= nC \left( T _{ B }- T _{ A }\right)$

$=\frac{ n 3 R }{2}\left( T _{ B }- T _{ A }\right)$

$=\frac{3}{2}\left(P_{B} V_{B}-P_{A} V_{A}\right)$

$=\frac{3}{2}\left(3 P_{B} V_{0}=P_{0} V_{0}\right)=3 P_{0} V_{0}$

$Q _{ BC }= nC _{ P }\left( T _{ C }- T _{ B }\right)$

$=\frac{ n 5 R }{2}\left( T _{ C }- T _{ B }\right)$

$=\frac{5}{2}\left(P_{C} V_{C}-P_{B} V_{B}\right)$

$=\frac{5}{2}\left(6 P _{0} V _{0}-3 P _{0} V _{0}\right)=\frac{15}{2} P _{0} V _{0}$

$\eta=\frac{ W }{ Q _{ in }} \times 100=\frac{2 P _{0} V _{0}}{3 P _{0} V _{0}+\frac{15}{2} P _{0} V _{0}} \times 100$

$\eta=\frac{400}{21}=19.04 \approx 19$

$\eta=19$
