The ratio of the efficiencies of two Carnot engines $A$ and $B$ is $1.25$. The temperature difference between the source and the sink is the same in both engines. The ratio of the absolute temperatures of the sources of engines $A$ and $B$ is

Three Carnot engines operate in series between a heat source at temperature $T_1$ and a heat sink at a temperature $T_4$. There are two other reservoirs at temperatures $T_2$ and $T_3$. If the three engines are equally efficient,find the values of $T_2$ and $T_3$ in terms of $T_1$ and $T_4$,given that $T_1 > T_2 > T_3 > T_4$.
