Abstract

Neeraj Pant et al.(2010) gave a detailed study of BCT First solution (Tewari,1988) representing time dependent balls of perfect fluid with matter-radiation in general relativity to assume the life time of quasar 107 years, initial mass≈108M with an initial linear dimension≈1015 cm are radiating energy at a constant rate i.e. L∞=1047 ergs/sec with the gravitational red shift, z=0.44637. For quasars with LQSO~1046erg/sec, the black hole masses in those systems must be at least 108 solar masses (Astro 3830: Spring 2004). In the present work, we have calculated the radiative efficiency of black holes existing in AGN by using the formula L/Mc2 (Narayan2005, Xie & Yuan 2012) and compared our results regarding some characteristics of super massive black holes with some other works given in references like Astro 3830:Spring (2004), Narayan (2005), Xie & Yuan (2012) and Chan (2013) and concluded that the mass of black holes never be greater than 5×109 M⊙ as well as the radiative efficiency of black hole is smaller than the same mass of quasars.
