Thanks for all the help. PS : Apparently, instead of calculating the heat absorbed, my book calculated the heat released, and then mistakenly put it in the efficiency formula, which resulted in a wrong answer.

Here is what I did : work done in going from A to C, W1 = 2nRToln(2) (isothermal process) work done in going from C to B, W1 = pΔV = nRΔT = -nRTo (isobaric process) work done in going from B to A, W3 = 0 (isochoric process) so, total work done = W1 + W2 + W3...
