the efficiency of a carnot engine is 30% its efficiency is raised to be 60% by how much must the temperature of the source be increased if the sink is at 27 degree celsius

efficiency of Carnot engine = (1 - T2/T1 )x 100 ℅

where T1 is the temperature of source and T2 is the temperature of sink .
given,
T2 = 27°C = 300 K

now ,
first time ,

efficiency = 30%

30 = (1 - 300/T1) x 100

0.3 = 1 - 300/T1

0.7 = 300/T1

T1 = 3000/7 K

2nd time efficiency = 60%

60 = (1 - 300/T″1) x 100

T″1 =3000/4

now , temperature of source increased= (3000/4 -3000/7) K

=3000(3/28 ) K

=9000/28 K
