The initial pressure and volume of a gas are \(P\) and \(V\), respectively. First, it is expanded isothermally to volume \(4V\) and then compressed adiabatically to volume \(V\). The final pressure of the gas will be: [Given: \(\gamma = 1.5\)]

1. \(P\) 2. \(2P\)
3. \(4P\) 4. \(8P\)

A reversible engine converts one-sixth of the heat input into work. When the temperature of the sink is reduced by \(62^{\circ}\mathrm{C}\), the efficiency of the engine is doubled. The temperatures of the source and sink are: 
1. \(80^{\circ}\mathrm{C}, 37^{\circ}\mathrm{C}\)
2. \(95^{\circ}\mathrm{C}, 28^{\circ}\mathrm{C}\)
3. \(90^{\circ}\mathrm{C}, 37^{\circ}\mathrm{C}\)
4. \(99^{\circ}\mathrm{C}, 37^{\circ}\mathrm{C}\)

Two Carnot engines x and y are working between the same source temperature \(T_1\) and the same sink temperature \(T_2\). If the temperature of the source in Carnot engine x is increased by \(\Delta T\), and in the Carnot engine y, the temperature of the sink is increased by\(\Delta T\), then the efficiency of x and y becomes \(\eta_\mathrm x\) and\(\eta_\mathrm y\). Then:

1. \(\eta_{\mathrm{x}}=\eta_{\mathrm{y}}\)
2. \(\eta_{\mathrm{x}}<\eta_{\mathrm{y}}\)
3. \(\eta_{\mathrm{x}}>\eta_{\mathrm{y}}\)
4.  The relation between \(\eta_{\mathrm{x}}\) and \(\eta_{\mathrm{y}}\) depends on the nature of the working substance

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 to sink at \(T_2\) K. The second engine, B, receives heat rejected by the first engine and rejects to another sink at \(T_3=300\) K. If the work outputs of the two engines are equal, then the value of \(T_2\) will be:

1. 100 K 2. 300 K
3. 550 K 4. 700 K
