Answer

We know that , $W_{cycle}$ = $Q_{out}$ - $Q_{in}$ here , $W_{cycle}$ = 0.15 kW and $Q_{out}$ = 0.6 kW $Q_{in}$ = $Q_{out}$ - $W_{cycle}$ = 0.6 kW - 0.15kW = 0.45 kW also we know that , (COP)beta = $Q_{in}$ /$W_{cycle}$ putting the value of $Q_{in}$ and $W_{cycle}$ we get , beta = 0.45 kW/0.15 kW = 3
