A reversible engine has ideal thermal efficiency of 30%. When it is used as a refrigerating machine with all other conditions unchanged, the coefficient of performance will be

Answer & Solution
Correct Answer: Option B
C.O.P. is reciprocal of efficiency of heat engine.
C.O.P. = $$\frac{1}{{0.3}}$$
= 3.33 = C.O.P. of heat engine.
Now,
C.O.P. of refrigerator = C.O.P. of heat engine - 1
= 3.33 - 1
= 2.33.
