  • B
    $+4.5$
  • C
    $+5.4$
  • D

$A$ solid body of constant heat capacity $1 \ J/^oC$ is being heated by keeping it in contact with reservoirs in two ways :
$(i)$ Sequentially keeping in contact with $2$ reservoirs such that each reservoir supplies same amount of heat.
$(ii)$ Sequentially keeping in contact with $8$ reservoirs such that each reservoir supplies same amount of heat.
In both the cases,the body is brought from initial temperature $100^oC$ to final temperature $200^oC$. The entropy change of the body in the two cases respectively is :

Why is a heat engine never $100\%$ efficient?

$Assertion :$ In an isolated system,the entropy increases.
$Reason :$ The processes in an isolated system are adiabatic.
