If a system A violates the Kelvin-Planck statement for heat engine then which is among the following conditions is correct.

If a system A violates the Kelvin-Planck statement for heat engine then which is among the following conditions is correct.

a. The system will definitely obey the Clausius' statement for heat pump
b. The system will also violates the Clausius' statement for heat pump
c. The system may sometimes obey or sometimes violates the Clausius statement for heat pump

Correct Answer : b. The system will also violates the Clausius' statement for heat pump

Explanation :

The Kelvin-Planck statement for heat engine and the Clausius' statement for heat pump are entirely equivalent, though they appear to be quite disconnected. There is only one Second Law of Thermodynamics is both the statements. Therefore, if a system violates any one statement between Kelvin-Planck and Clausius statements, then the system also violates another one.
