One mole of an ideal gas undergoes two different cyclic processes I and II, as shown in the $P-V$ diagrams below. In cycle I, processes $a, b, c$ and $d$ are isobaric, isothermal, isobaric and isochoric, respectively. In cycle II, processes $a^{\prime}, b^{\prime}, c^{\prime}$ and $d^{\prime}$ are isothermal, isochoric, isobaric and isochoric, respectively. The total work done during cycle I is $W_I$ and that during cycle II is $W_{I I}$. The ratio $W_I / W_{I I}$ is . . . .

    This question has Statement $1$ and Statement $2.$ Of the four choices given after the Statements, choose the one that best describes the two Statements.

    Statement $1 :$ An inventor claims to have constructed an engine that has an efficiency of $30\%$ when operated between the boiling and freezing points of water. This is not possible.

    Statement $2:$ The efficiency of a real engine is always less than the efficiency of a Carnot engine operating between the same two temperatures.

    Two Carnot engines $A$ and $B$ are operated in succession. The first one, $A$ receives heat from a source at ${T_1} = 800K$ and rejects to sink at ${T_2}K.$. The second engine $B$ receives heat rejected by the first engine and rejects to another sink at ${T_3} = 300K.$ If the work outputs of two engines are equal, then the value of ${T_2}$ is .... $K$
