if 1000 calories are given in a minute and since it's efficiency is 20%, the work the steam engine does during a minute #= 1000*20/100#

#=200 cal#

but # 1 cal = 4.184J#
if they have given a value for 1 calorie in joules, then use that.

so the work done in joules #=200* 4.184#
#=8.368J#

i guess the closest answer is #2)#
