The thermal efficiency of Brayton cycle with regeneration decreases as the compressor ratio

Question

Direction: Each of the next consists of two statements, one labeled as the ‘Assertion (A)’ and the other as carefully and select the answers to these item using the codes given below:

Codes:

1. Both A and R are individually true and R is the correct explanation of A
2. Bothe A and R are individually true but R is not the correct explanation of A
3. A is true but R is false
4. A is false but R is true

 Assertion (A): The thermal efficiency of Brayton cycle with regeneration decreases as the compressor ratio increases.                        

Reason (R): As the compression ratio of compressors increases, the range of temperature in the regenerator decreases and the amount of heat recovered reduces.
