It will go like.

Q1/Q2 = T1/T2.

1000/Q2 = 573/373.

So Q2 = 651 J.

And W = Q1-Q2.

= 1000-651 = 349 J.

N = 1-Tc/Th where, Tc = 100+273.15 = 373.15 and Th = 300+273.15 = 573.15.

W = Q*n.

W = 1000 (1 - 373.15 / 573.15) = 349 J.

Qh=1000J
Qc=?

Th=300oc,
Tc=100oc
W=Qh-Qc.

Qh/Qc = Th/Tc.
Qc=Qh * Tc/Th = 1000 * 100/300=333.3.

Then,
W = Qh-Qc = 1000-333.3 = 666.7 = 666J.
