Let $\eta_{1}$ be the efficiency of a Carnot engine at $T_{H}=447^{\circ}C$ and $T_{L}=147^{\circ}C$,while $\eta_{2}$ is the efficiency at $T_{H}=947^{\circ}C$ and $T_{L}=47^{\circ}C$. The ratio $\frac{\eta_{1}}{\eta_{2}}$ will be:

Two heat engines $X$ and $Y$ of same efficiency are connected in series in such a way that the sink of $X$ works as the source of $Y$. $X$ receives heat at $900 \,K$ and rejects some heat to its sink at $T \,K$, and in turn, $Y$ rejects heat to its sink at $400 \,K$. Then the temperature $T$ is: (in $\,K$)

$A$ number of Carnot engines are operated at identical cold reservoir temperatures $(T_{L})$. However,their hot reservoir temperatures are kept different. $A$ graph of the efficiency of the engines versus hot reservoir temperature $(T_{H})$ is plotted. The correct graphical representation is
