Problem

A Carnot engine has an efficiency of 1/61/6. When the temperature of the sink is reduced by 62∘C62^\circ\text{C}, its efficiency is doubled. The temperatures of the source and the sink are, respectively. (1) 62∘C62^\circ\text{C} , 124∘C124^\circ\text{C} (2) 99∘C99^\circ\text{C} , 37∘C37^\circ\text{C} (3) 124∘C124^\circ\text{C} , 62∘C62^\circ\text{C} (4) 37∘C37^\circ\text{C} , 99∘C99^\circ\text{C}
