An insulator container contains \(4\) moles of an ideal diatomic gas at a temperature \(T.\) If heat \(Q\) is supplied to this gas, due to which \(2\) moles of the gas are dissociated into atoms, but the temperature of the gas remains constant, then:
1. \(Q=2RT\)
2. \(Q=RT\)
3. \(Q=3RT\)
4. \(Q=4RT\)

Two Carnot engines A and B are operated in succession. The first one, A receives heat from a source at \(T_1=800\) K and rejects to sink at \(T_2\) K. The second engine, B, receives heat rejected by the first engine and rejects to another sink at \(T_3=300\) K. If the work outputs of the two engines are equal, then the value of \(T_2\) will be:

1. 100 K 2. 300 K
3. 550 K 4. 700 K

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. \(95^{\circ}\mathrm{C}, 28^{\circ}\mathrm{C}\)
