A hot liquid kept in a breaker cools from 80^(@)C to 70^(@)C in two minutes. If the surrounding temperature is 30^(@)C, then the time of cooling of the same liquid from 60^(@)C to 50^(@)C is :

Answer»

240 s
480 s
360 s
216 s.

Solution :According to Newton.s law of cooling
`(theta_(1)-theta_(2))/(t)=k[(theta_(1)+theta_(2))/(2)-theta_(0)]`
`:.(80-70)/(2)=k[75-30]`. . . (i)
`(60-50)/(t)=k[55-30]`. . .(ii)
Dividing (i) by (ii) `t/2=(45)/(25)rArrt=(18)/(5)=3*6" min = 216 SECONDS"`
So correct choice is (d).
