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)
