Solution

The correct option is C 12 J
From the definition of coefficient of performance for a Carnot refrigerator (ideal refrigerator),
β=Q2W=T2T1T2
Q2=W(T2T1T2) ...(i)
Given,
T2=277 K,T1=300 K
W=Electrical work consumed by refrigerator
W=1 J
From Eq.(i) we get,
Q2=1×27730027712 J
Hence amount of heat extracted by the refrigerator will be 12 J
