If a power plant produces steam at 600°C and outputs heat at 150°C?
to a cogeneration power plant that then outputs its exhaust at a temperature of 40°C. Find the total efficiency of this combination of power plants. Assume both plants are 80% as efficient as a Carnot heat engine.

To determine the overall efficiency you need to know the energy input needed to produce the 600 degree steam. Without that information you cannot determine the total efficiency.
