Answer:

Explanation:

The maximum efficient power plant will be the plant based on carnot cycle whose efficiency is given by the following formula

Efficiency = (T₁ - T₂)  / T₁

T₁ is temperature of hot reservoir and T₂ is temperature of cold reservoir.

Putting the given values

efficiency of power plant = (35 - 5) / (273 + 35 )

= 30 / 308

= .097

= 9.7 %
