Actually the answer is the thermal efficiency of Otto cycle is > than diesel cycle. As heat rejection in diesel engine is more so (Qs-Qr) /Qs by this formula it can be proved.

Why because compression of the ratio of petrol engine is low compared to diesel that's why the thermal efficiency of petrol engine is less.
