In a Carnot engine,the temperature of the reservoir is $927\ ^oC$ and that of the sink is $27\ ^oC.$ If the work done by the engine is $12.6 \times 10^6 \ J,$ the quantity of heat absorbed by the engine from the reservoir is:

  • A
    $16.8 \times 10^6 \ J$
  • B
    $4 \times 10^6 \ J$
  • C
    $20.8 \times 10^6 \ J$
  • D
    $4.2 \times 10^6 \ J$
