In the second law of thermodynamics what is the formulations?

Answer:

It isn't possible to change heat completely into work, with no other change taking place.
No system can convert energy from one form to another useful form with 100% efficiency.
It's not possible to transfer heat from an object at a lower temperature to another object at a higher temperature unless work is done.
