    The volume and surface area of a deer is 1,50,000 cm3 and 19,000 cm2 and of a squirrel is 625 cm3 and 530 cm2. The area available for heat loss per cm3 volume of the squirrel will be approximately

    A)  seven times more than the deer

    B)  five times less than the deer

    C)  three times more than the deer

    D)  eleven times more than the deer

    Correct Answer: A

    Solution :

                     Heat \[\propto \] Area     For deer,                                 \[{{H}_{1}}\propto \frac{19,000}{1,50,000}\] For squirrel,                                 \[{{H}_{2}}\propto \frac{530}{625}\]                 \[\frac{{{H}_{1}}}{{{H}_{2}}}=\frac{19,000/1,50,000}{530/625}\]                                 \[\frac{{{H}_{1}}}{{{H}_{2}}}=\frac{0.26}{0.848}\]                                 \[{{H}_{2}}=\frac{0.848}{0.126}{{H}_{1}}\]                                 \[{{H}_{2}}=6.730\,{{H}_{1}}\]                 \[{{H}_{2}}=7{{H}_{1}}\]  (approximately) So, the heat loss per cm3 volume of the squirrel will be approximately seven times more than the deer.
