Question

I am having a hard time understanding C-E on this problem. For C, I know that Th>Ti>Tc. Does that mean that since ec= 1-Tc/Th and Tc is the lowest temp of the system, that it is indeed more efficient with both engines? 

The other ones, I just don't know where to start. 

Any help or explantions would be appreciated!
