A beaker full of hot water is kept in a room. If it cools from 80°C to 75°C in t1 minutes,from 75°C to 70°C in t2 minutes and from 70°C to 65°C in t3 minutes

t3 greater than t2which is greater than t1

Newton's coolingcooling law tells that more the temperature difference with surrounding less will be time taken to cool or more will be cooling rate. As the temperature of the beaker is decreasing so the temperature difference with the surrounding is also decreasing. So t_1t 1 ​ should be minimum and t_3t 3 ​ should be highest so option A is correct.
