Solution

The correct option is C

2400J


Step 1. Given data

Temperature, T1=800K

Temperature, T2=400K

Work done, W=1200J

Step 2. Finding the Efficiency, η

By using the formula of Efficiency

η=1-T2T1

η=1-400800

η=12

Step 3. Finding the amount of heat supplied, Q

By using the formula, η=WQ

12=1200Q

Q=2400J

Therefore, the amount of the heat supplied is 2400J

Hence, the correct option is C.
