A Carnot engine is operating between a hot body and cold body maintained at temperature T1 and T2 respectively. Consider the following three cases

Case I : The temperature of the hot body is changed to T1+ΔT and cold body is at T2

Case II : The temperature of the hot body is at T1 and cold body is changed to T2+ΔT

Case III : The temperature of the hot body is
