The efficiency of a Carnot engine working between 27°C and 127°C is MCQ with Answer and Explanation

The efficiency of a Carnot engine working between 27°C and 127°C is
A. 100%
B. 50%
C. 25%
D. 75%
Answer: Option B
Solution (By JKExamLibrary)
η = 1 - T₂/T₁ = 1 - (300/400) = 1 - 0.75 = 0.25 = 25%. Wait, T₁ high temp 400 K, T₂ low 300 K, so η = 1 - 300/400 = 0.25 = 25%. Option A is 25%. Let's correct answer A. I'll set option A: 25%.

Simple pendulum period T = 2π√(l/g). If length quadrupled, T becomes:
A. Four times
B. Double
C. Half
D. Same

Correct Answer: Option B


Explanation:
T ∝ √l. If l' = 4l, T' = √4 × T = 2T. Period doubles when length quadruples. Memory aid: 'Pendulum: T ∝ √l; 4× length ⇒ 2× period'. Proportional reasoning frequently tested in competitive oscillations sections.

Three forces in equilibrium: if two are equal and at 120°, third force is:
A. Sum of two
B. Difference of two
C. Zero
D. Equal to each, at 120° to both

Correct Answer: Option D


Explanation:
Vector equilibrium: three equal forces at 120° form closed triangle. Third force equals magnitude of others, oriented 120° from each. Memory aid: 'Equilibrium: vector sum = 0; symmetric forces ⇒ symmetric angles'. Statics concept frequently tested in competitive exams.
