The efficiency of Stirling cycle is Lesser than Carnot cycle (which is an ideal one).
Three power producing cycles have been so far known that include two isothermal processes, namely, Carnot, Stirling, and Ericsson.

- Carnot cycle.
Efficiency = 1-T2/T1.
- Stirling cycle.
Efficiency = 1-T2/T1.
As you saw, the efficiency formula of both cycles are same, so efficiency of Carnot and Stirling cycle is equal.
Efficiency = 1-T2/T1.
- Stirling cycle.
Efficiency = 1-T2/T1.

That Carnot is more efficient than Stirling.
But the answer is given that both efficiencies are the same.

Stirling cycle efficiency would be equal to carnot cycle efficiency, when there is complete (ideal) regeneration of heat being rejected at costant volume process.

Stirling cycle has less efficiency than Carnot because of heat transfer at constant volume. However, if regenerative Stirling cycle is considered then the efficiency of two is equal.

Both are ideal cycle, so the efficiency also same.

Carnot cycle is equal to Stirling cycle when temp not considered in this case.

The Carnot cycle, which is a theoretical rather than a practical cycle, has the maximum possible efficiency of any cycle. There is a theoretical Stirling cycle that is also reversible, which means that it would have the same efficiency as the Carnot cycle. However, neither cycle can be realized in the real world, so a real Stirling cycle will have a lower efficiency than the theoretical Carnot cycle.
