Assuming the temperature of surrounding be $t^{o} C$

$CASE-1$

$\frac{(60-50)}{4 \min }=k(55-t)$          $(1)$

Again, $CASE- 2$

$\frac{(40-30)}{8 \min }=k(35-t)$           $(2)$

$\frac{(1)}{(2)}=\frac{\frac{10}{4}}{\frac{10}{8}}=\frac{(55-t)}{(35-t)}$

$\Rightarrow 2(35-t)=55-t$

$\Rightarrow 70-2 t=55-t$

$\Rightarrow t=15^{\circ} \mathrm{C}$
