detailed solution

Correct option is A

If 'a' is the length of cube, surface area Scube=6a2 If 'r' is the radius of sphere, surface area  Ssphere=4πr2Both the cube and sphere have the same volume as given Volume  V=a3  ∵V=43πr3∴a3=43πr3⇒ar=4π313 Area cube  Area sphere =6a24πr2=64πar2=64π×4π323=6π13∵  mass are equal Rate of fall in temperature = Surface area∵Rate of fall in temperature= 6π13
