(D) The efficiency of a Carnot engine is given by $\eta = 1 - \frac{T_2}{T_1}$,where $T_1$ is the source temperature and $T_2$ is the sink temperature in Kelvin.Given $\eta_1 = 1/6$,so $1/6 = 1 - \frac{T_2}{T_1} \implies \frac{T_2}{T_1} = 5/6 \implies T_2 = \frac{5}{6}T_1$.When the sink temperature is reduced by $62^{\circ}C$,the new sink temperature is $T_2' = T_2 - 62$.The new efficiency is doubled,so $\eta_2 = 2 	imes (1/6) = 1/3$.Using the formula for the new efficiency: $1/3 = 1 - \frac{T_2 - 62}{T_1}$.Substituting $T_2 = \frac{5}{6}T_1$: $1/3 = 1 - \frac{\frac{5}{6}T_1 - 62}{T_1}$.$1/3 = 1 - \frac{5}{6} + \frac{62}{T_1} \implies 1/3 = 1/6 + \frac{62}{T_1}$.$\frac{62}{T_1} = 1/3 - 1/6 = 1/6$.$T_1 = 62 	imes 6 = 372 	ext{ K}$.To convert to Celsius: $T_1(^{\circ}C) = 372 - 273 = 99^{\circ}C$.

An engine has an efficiency of $1/6$. When the temperature of the sink is reduced by $62^{\circ}C$,its efficiency is doubled. The temperature of the source is $.........^{\circ}C$.
