An ideal heat engine works between temperatures

{T_1} = 500\mathrm{K and}{T_2} = 375\mathrm{K}

. If the engine absorbs 600 J of heat from the source, then the amount of heat released to the sink is

View answer and explanation

Correct option: A

450 J

Option A (450 J) is correct because it is the amount of heat released to the sink, calculated using the efficiency formula for a heat engine.
