An ideal heat engine (Carnot engine) works between temperatures \(T_1\) and \(T_2\) has an efficiency \(\eta.\) The new efficiency if both the source and sink temperatures are doubled will be:
1. \(\frac{\eta}{2}\)
2. \(\eta\)
3. \(2\eta\)
4. \(3\eta\)

A Carnot engine whose sink is at \(300~\text{K}\) has an efficiency of \(40\%.\) By how much should the temperature of the source be increased to increase its efficiency by \(50\%\) of its original efficiency?
1. \(275~\text{K}\) 2. \(325~\text{K}\)
3. \(250~\text{K}\) 4. \(380~\text{K}\)
