In all steam engine the steam is used as the working substance. These engine operate on the principle of First Law of Thermodynamics i.e. heat and work are mutual convertible.

Option b ie 1st law is correct.

STEAM engines work on 1st law only because heat and work are mutually convertible.
In a reciprocating steam engine, as the heat energy in the steam is converted into mechanical work by the reciprocating (to and fro) motion of the piston.
How, can 2 law possible?

@Nayan & @Arun said these are drawbacks of the first law.
So how any engine can made by using these drawbacks?

Steam engine work on first law of thermodynamic because heat is converted in to work and total energy remains constant.

The Answer should be First Law which says Heat and Work are mutually convertible.

First law is not applicable here because as per first law we know that whole of the energy used in a system is never wasted anywhere. But in the steam engine more of the energy supplied to it is wasted as a loss of friction due to various no of moving parts present in the steam engine.

Why not in First law?
