Q. Two spheres of radii in the ratio 1 : 2 and densities in the ratio 2: 1 and of same specific heat, are heated to same temperature and left in the same surrounding. Their rate of falling temperature will be in the ratio:

     (1) 2 : 1                           (2) 1 : 1                         (3) 1 : 2                     (4) 1 : 4
 

Dear Student ,

The amount of heat energy possessed by a sphere is given by;           Q=m×c×TThe ratio of rate of cooling of the two sphere=m1×c1m2×c2=43πr13ρ1×c143πr23ρ2×c2or           ratio of rate of cooling of the two sphere=r13ρ1×c1r23ρ2×c2=1×22×2×2×1=14

option (4) is correct 
Regards
