ANSWER:

No the carnot engine cannot work.

EXPLANATION:

   It is impossible for a carnot engine to work when the source and sink are interchanged. This is because for carnot engine to work, first the isothermal expansion must take place and if isothermal compression takes place, then the engine will stop working, and this is not wanted.

  Carnot engine is an engine which works on the principle of a heat cycle where heat is transferred between two mediums which may be a source and a sink.
