detailed solution

Correct option is C

According to Newton's law of cooling,Rate of cooling ∞ mean temperature differenceInitially, mean temperature difference=70+602−θ0=65−θ0Finally, mean temperature difference=60+502−θ0=55−θ0In second case, mean temperature difference decreases, so rate of fall of temperature decreases. Thus, it takes more time to cool through the same range.
