I assume the question is, initially the engine works with efficiency 0.25 and efficeiency is doubled
after reducing the sink temperature by 52°C. It is required to get the source temperature.
 
Initial effieciency ηi of engine working with source temperature T1 and sink temperature  T2 is given by,
 
ηi = 1 - ( T2 / T1 ) = 0.25 ..............(1)
 
changed efficiency ηf  after reducing the sink temperature,  
 
η= [ 1 - (T2 - 58) / T1] = 0.5  ........................(2)
 
eqn.(2) is rewritten as,   1 - ( T2 / T1 ) + (58 / T1) =  0.5  ...............(3)
 
using eqn.(1) and eqn.(3),  we get  58/T1 = 0.25   or source temperature  T1 = 232 K
