A Carnot engine (CE – 1) works between two temperature reservoirs A and B, where T_A = 900 K and T_B = 500 K. A second Carnot engine (CE- 2) works between temperature reservoirs B and C, where T_C = 300 K. In each cycle of CE-1 and CE-2, all the heat rejected by CE-1 to reservoir B is used by CE-2. For one cycle of operation, if the net Q absorbed by CE-1 from reservoir A is 150 MJ, the net heat rejected to reservoir C by CE-2 (in MJ) is _________.
