The efficiency of a Carnot engine operating between temperatures $27^{\circ}C$ and $-123^{\circ}C$ is .... $\%$?

An engine operating between the boiling and freezing points of water will have:
$1.$ Efficiency more than $27 \%$
$2.$ Efficiency less than the efficiency of a Carnot engine operating between the same two temperatures.
$3.$ Efficiency equal to $27 \%$
$4.$ Efficiency less than $27 \%$

Two Carnot engines $A$ and $B$ are operated in succession. The first one,$A$,receives heat from a source at $T_1 = 800 \ K$ and rejects heat to a sink at $T_2 \ K$. The second engine,$B$,receives the heat rejected by the first engine and rejects heat to another sink at $T_3 = 300 \ K$. If the work outputs of the two engines are equal,then the value of $T_2$ is .... $K$.
