A heat engine operates between 200 K and 100 K. In each cycle it takes 100 J from the hot reservoir, loses 25 J to the cold reservoir, and does 75 J of work. This heat engine violates the second law but not the first law of thermodynamics. Why is this true?

It does not violate the first law because the total energy taken is what is used 100J = 25J + 75J

But violates 2nd lawbecause the engine has a higher energy after doing work than the initial for e.g A cold object in contact with a hot one never gets colder, transferring heat to the hot object and making it hotter confirming the second law
