    Given below are two statements : one is labelled as Assertion A and the other is labelled as Reason $R$. Assertion A : Efficiency of a reversible heat engine will be highest at $-273^{\circ} C$ temperature of cold reservoir.

    Reason $R$ : The efficiency of Carnot's engine depends not only on temperature of cold reservoir but it depends on the temperature of hot reservoir too and is given as $\eta=\left(1-\frac{ T _2}{ T _1}\right)$.

    In the light of the above statements, choose the correct answer from the options given below
