Type: MCQ-numerical-Medium-Class 11

A pan filled with hot food cools from 94°C to 86° in 2 minutes when the room temperature is at 20°C. The time taken to cool it from 71°C to 69°C is

A

12 s

B

22 s

C

32 s

D

40 s

Correct Answer

Option D

Detailed Explanation

Using Newton's Law of Cooling, the rate of cooling is proportional to the temperature difference. The time taken to cool from 71°C to 69°C is calculated using the same proportionality constant as the initial cooling.
