Does anyone can help me in this question?

Two reversible heat engines operate in series between a source at 600C and a sink at 30C.
If the engines have equal efficiencies and the first rejects 400 kJ to the second, calculate:
(i) the temperature at which heat is supplied to the second engine;
(ii) the heat taken from the source;
(iii) the work done by each engine.
Assume that each engine operates on the Carnot cycle.
Answers: 241.3C; 679.1 kJ; 279.1 kJ and 164.4 kJ.
