    Certain quantity of water cools from \[70{}^\circ C\] to \[60{}^\circ C\] in the first 5 min and to \[54{}^\circ C\] in the next 5 min. The temperature of the surroundings is                                                                                 [NEET 2014]

    A)  \[45{}^\circ C\]           

    B)       \[20{}^\circ C\]

    C)  \[42{}^\circ C\]           

    D)       \[10{}^\circ C\]

    Correct Answer: A

    Solution :

    Let the temperature of the surrounding is \[t{}^\circ C\].
    For first case,
    \[\frac{(70-60)}{5\min }=k({{65}^{{}^\circ }}C-{{t}^{{}^\circ }}C)\]
     (\[65{}^\circ \] is average of \[70{}^\circ C\] and \[60{}^\circ C\])
    \[\frac{10}{5\min }=K({{65}^{{}^\circ }}C-{{t}^{{}^\circ }}C)\]                   …(i)
    For second case,
    \[\frac{(60-54)}{5\min }=k(57-t)\]                        …(ii)
    (\[57{}^\circ C\] is average of \[60{}^\circ C\] and \[54{}^\circ C\])
    From Eqs. (i)/(ii), \[\frac{10}{6}=\frac{(65-t)}{(57-t)}\]
    Solving, we get \[t=45{}^\circ C\]
