As we learnt in 

Entropy -

It is a measure of disorder of molecular motion of a system.

- wherein

Greater is disorder greater is entropy

dS= \frac{dQ}{T}

and 

Efficiency of a cyclic process -

\eta = \frac{work\, done \, per \, cyclic}{gross \, heat\, supplied \, per\, cyclic}

 

- wherein

Gross heat implied only part of heat absorbed.

 

The efficiency of cycle is:

n = \frac{work\ done}{heat\ absorb}

= \frac{Q_{1}-Q_{2}}{Q_{1}}

= \frac{Area\ of\ cycle}{Area\ under\ AB\ curve}

Efficiency \eta = \frac{\frac{1}{2}\times T_{0}\times S_{0}}{T_{0}S_{0}+\frac{1}{2}T_{0}S_{0}}= \frac{1}{3}
