Detailed Solution

According to Newton s law of cooling dTdt=kTT0
where T = temperature of body and To = temperature of surroundings
Now   T1T2dTTT0=k0tdt
      logeTT0T1T2=k[t]0t
or   loge T2T0T1T0=kt
or    loge60255025=k×(10×60)       ...(1)
Let T' be the temperature at the end of 10 min. In this case,
     loge5025T25=k×(10×60)             ...(2)
Solving eqs. (1) and (2), we get
    T=4285C
