Answer:

the work done is 150 J.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given;

heat energy from the hot reservoir, QH = 250 J

heat energy from the cold reservoir, Qc = 100 J

Let the work done = W

The work done is calculated as follows;

W = QH - Qc

W = 250 J - 100 J

W = 150 J

Therefore, the work done is 150 J.
