The efficiency of an ideal heat engine is less than 100% because of:

1.  the presence of friction.
2.  the leakage of heat energy.
3.  unavailability of the sink at zero kelvin.
4.  All of these

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. \(99^{\circ}\mathrm{C}, 37^{\circ}\mathrm{C}\)
