Question: If the co-efficient of performance of a refrigerator is 5 and operates at the room temperature the temperature inside the refrigerator is

Options:

A) 240 K

B) 250 K

C) 230 K

D) 260 K

Show Answer

Answer:

Correct Answer: B

Solution:

[b] Here, Coefficient of performance (β)=5

T1=27C=(27+273)K=300K

As, β=T2T1T25=T2300T2

or 15005T2=T2 or 6T2=1500

T2=15006=250K
