Respuesta :

efficiency of the heat engine is calculated by the formula

[tex]\eta = 1- \frac{T_c}{T_h}[/tex]

here we know that

[tex]T_c [/tex] = cold temperature

[tex]T_h [/tex] = hot temperature

now we will find the efficiency of all

1) for W

[tex]\eta_1 = 1- \frac{T_c}{T_h}[/tex]

[tex]\eta_1 = 1- \frac{120}{620}[/tex]

[tex]\eta_1 = 0.806[/tex]

2) for X

[tex]\eta_2 = 1- \frac{T_c}{T_h}[/tex]

[tex]\eta_2 = 1- \frac{100}{840}[/tex]

[tex]\eta_2 = 0.88[/tex]

3) For Y

[tex]\eta_3 = 1- \frac{T_c}{T_h}[/tex]

[tex]\eta_3 = 1- \frac{300}{900}[/tex]

[tex]\eta_2 = 0.67[/tex]

4) for Z

[tex]\eta_4 = 1- \frac{T_c}{T_h}[/tex]

[tex]\eta_4 = 1- \frac{25}{500}[/tex]

[tex]\eta_4 = 0.95[/tex]

So here most efficient engine is Z and least is Y

so we can arrange it as

Z > X > W > Y

so 3rd option is correct here

Answer:

C.) Z, X,W, Y
