Quantity of heat rejected in Carnot engine, Q2 = R T2 log(V4 / V3 )  ....................(1)
 
where R is universal gas constant , T2 is sink temperature , V3 is inital volume of isothermal compression and V4 is final volume .
 
Workdone W = Q1 - Q2 , where Q1 is the quantity of heat absorbed from heat source
 
Q1 = R T1 log(V2 / V1)   ..................(2)
 
Where T1 is source temperature , V2 and V1 are final and initial volume in isothermal expansion.
 
In Carnot engine , Volume ratio  ( V2/V1 ) of isothermal expansion process equals the volume ratio ( V4 / V3 ) of isthermal compression.
 
Hence, ratio of heat rejected for the workdone  Q2 / [ Q1 - Q2 ] = T2 / [ T1 - T2 ] = 300/ (600-300) = 1
 
-------------------------
 
Efficiency = 1- ( T2 / T1 ) = 1 - ( 300 / 600 ) = 0.5  or 50 %
 
If we consider to reduce the efficiency by 20% as  30% efficency of changed system, then
 
1 - (300 / T1 ) = 0.3
 
By solving above equation, we get T1 = 429 K   or 156 °C
