The correct answer is:
\( 3200 \mathrm{~J} \)
Given,
\( T_{1}=400 K ; T_{2}=300 K ; Q_{2}=800 \)
We know \( \eta=1-\frac{T_{2}}{T_{1}} \)
Also \( 1-\frac{T_{2}}{T_{1}}=\frac{Q_{2}}{Q_{1}} \)
\( \Rightarrow 1-\frac{300}{400}=\frac{800}{Q_{1}} \)
\( \Rightarrow \frac{100}{400}=\frac{800}{Q_{1}} \)
\( \Rightarrow Q_{1}=\frac{800 \times 400}{100}=3200 \mathrm{~J} \)
Therefore, amount of heat energy supplied to the engine from source is \( 3200 \mathrm{~J} \).
