Q.

A body at a temperature of 50C cools to 49C in time Δt when it is placed in a room maintained at -3C. The same body cools from 50C to 49C in time Δt ' when room temperature is 24C. Assume heat loss through radiation only and the specific heat capacity of the body remains constant with change in temperature. Δt'=P×Δt
Then nearest integer to 2 x P is  Take (270/297)3=3/4)

 -dTdt=4eσAT03msΔT  -dTdt=kΔT

This is Newton's law of cooling. We need to take care that the constant k depends on T03. When room temperature is -3C and 24C let the value of constant be k1 and k2.

Then k2k1=2972703=(1.1)3=1.33

When ball is in first room

10CΔt=k1[49.5-(-3)]

[49.5 = average temperature of the body during cooling]
In second room 10CΔt'=k2[49.5-24]

 (i)÷(ii) Δt'Δt=k1k2×52.525.5  Δt'=11.33×52.525.5=Δt=1.55Δt
