The coefficient of performance of a refrigerator is 5. If the temperature inside freezer is - 20^@ C, the temperature of the surroundings to which it rejects heat is _____

Answer»

`21^@C`
`31^@C`
`41^@C`
`11^@C`

Solution :COEFFICIENT of PERFORMANCE of a REFRIGERATOR
`=T_L/(T_H-T_L)`
where `T_L` = lower temperature in K
`T_H`=HIGHER temperature in K
`therefore 5=T_L/(T_H-T_L)`
`therefore 5T_H-5T_L=T_L`
`therefore 5T_H=6T_L`
`=6/5xx(273-20)`
`=6/5xx253`
=303.6 K
`therefore T_H`=303.6-273=`30.6^@C approx 31^@C`
