A heat pump working on a reversed Carnot cycle has a C.O.P. of 5. It works as a refrigerator taking 1 kW of work input. The refrigerating effect will be

A. 1 kW

B. 2 kW

C. 3 kW

D. 4 kW

Answer: Option D

Solution(By Examveda Team)

C.O.P. (heat pump) = 1 + C.O.P. (R effect)     [R = Refrigeration]
5 = 1 + C.O.P. (R effect)
C.O.P. (R effect) = 5 - 1.
C.O.P. (R effect) = 4.
