Since part of the heat is transferred at constant pressure and part at a constant temperature, the efficiency of the Ericsson cycle is less than that of the Carnot cycle. The regenerative, Stirling, and Ericson cycles have the same efficiency as the Carnot cycle, but much less backwork.

For regeneration:

The efficiency of Sterling and Ericsson cycle is equal to the Carnot Cycle.
All three cycles are reversible cycles.

I think option B is correct.

I think B is correct.

Yes, right @Gautam.

In Ericsson, regenerative cycle efficiency is equal to Carnot cycle. So answer should be "B".

Condition should be given that limit at same temperature.
