Solution:
The efficiency of a Carnot cycle working between cold temperature </span>
and hot temperature 
is given by
and it represents the maximum efficiency that can be reached by a machine operating between these temperatures. If we use the temperatures of the problem,
and 
, the efficiency is
Therefore, the correct answer is D) 62 %.
