efficiency=(t1-t2)/t1

so if you increase the value of t1 ,the denominator will also rise,so reducing t2 by 100 will give you more efficiency.

please approve to my reply if you understood it.

Since decreasing the temperature of the sink by 100 degree Celsius result in the greater efficiency than increasing the temperature of the source by hundred degree Celsius

Three identical balls are placed on a frictionless horizontal surface touching each other. They stick to each other because of adhesive. Another ball of same radius and mass m is placed over the void created by the three balls. Find the forces applied by the balls kept on the floor to each other if the system remains in equilibrium.
