Answer:1200

Step-by-step explanation:

Given data

Upper Temprature
\left ( T_H\right )=240^(\circ)\approx 513

Lower Temprature
\left ( T_L\right )=20^(\circ)\approx 293

Engine power ouput
\left ( W\right )=910 W

Efficiency of carnot cycle is given by


\eta =1-(T_L)/(T_H)


\eta =(W_s)/(Q_s)


1-(293)/(513)=(910)/(Q_s)


Q_s=2121.954 W


Q_r=1211.954 W

rounding off to two significant figures


Q_r=1200 W
