Q. Rankine cycle operating on low pressure limit of p1 & high pressure limit p2

• (A) has higher thermal efficiency than the carnot cycle operating between same pressure limits
• (B) has lower thermal efficiency than carnot cycle operating between same pressurelimits
• (C) has same thermal efficiency than carnot cycle operating between same pressure limits
• (D) may be more or less depending upon the magnitudes of p1 & p2
