If a steam engine delivers 6.0xx10^(8)J ...

If a steam engine delivers `6.0xx10^(8)J` of work per minute and absorbs `5.4xx10^(9)J` of heat per minute from its boiler then the efficiency of the engine is

A

0.11

B

0.12

C

0.13

D

0.14

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
A
Efficiency of engine =(working out put(W))/(heat input(Q))
`=(6.0xx106(8))/(5.4xx10^(9))=0.11=0.11xx100%=11%`
