If a Carnot engine functions at a source temperature of $127^{\circ}C$ and a sink temperature of $87^{\circ}C$,what is its efficiency in $\%$?

Given below are two statements: one is labelled as Assertion $A$ and the other is labelled as Reason $R$.
Assertion $A$: Efficiency of a reversible heat engine will be highest at $-273^{\circ} C$ temperature of cold reservoir.
Reason $R$: The efficiency of Carnot's engine depends not only on the temperature of the cold reservoir but it depends on the temperature of the hot reservoir too and is given as $\eta = (1 - \frac{T_2}{T_1})$.
In the light of the above statements,choose the correct answer from the options given below:

$A$ Carnot engine has an efficiency of $50 \%$. If the temperature of the sink is reduced by $40 \, K$,its efficiency increases by $30 \%$. The temperature of the source will be $.... \, K$.

$A$ reversible heat engine converts one-fourth of the heat input into work. When the temperature of the sink is reduced by $52 \, K$,its efficiency is doubled. The temperature in Kelvin of the source will be ...... .

$A$ diatomic ideal gas is used in a Carnot engine as a working substance. If during the adiabatic expansion part of the cycle,the volume of the gas increases from $V$ to $32V$,the efficiency of the engine is:
