Two ideal Carnot engines operate in cascade (all heat given up by one engine is used by the other engine to produce work) between temperatures, $\mathrm{T}_{1}$ and $\mathrm{T}_{2} .$ The temperature of the hot reservoir of the first engine is $\mathrm{T}_{1}$ and the temperature of the cold reservoir of the second engine is $\mathrm{T}_{2} . T$ is temperature of the sink of first engine which is also the source for the second engine. How is $T$ related to $\mathrm{T}_{1}$ and $\mathrm{T}_{2}$, if both the engines perform equal amount of work?
  • A$\mathrm{T}=\frac{2 \mathrm{T}_{1} \mathrm{T}_{2}}{\mathrm{T}_{1}+\mathrm{T}_{2}}$
  • B$\mathrm{T}=\sqrt{\mathrm{T}_{1} \mathrm{T}_{2}}$
  • C$\mathrm{T}=\frac{\mathrm{T}_{1}+\mathrm{T}_{2}}{2}$
  • D$T=0$
