A black coloured solid sphere of radius $R$ and mass $M$ is inside a cavity with vacuum inside. The walls of the cavity are maintained at temperature $T_0$. The initial temperature of the sphere is $3T_0$. If the specific heat of the material of the sphere varies as $\alpha T^3$ per unit mass with the temperature $T$ of the sphere, where $\alpha $ is a constant, then the time taken for the sphere to cool down to temperature $2T_0$ will be ( $\sigma $ is Stefan Boltzmann constant)
  • A$\frac{{M\alpha }}{{4\pi {R^2}\sigma }}\,\ln \left( {\frac{3}{2}} \right)$
  • B$\frac{{M\alpha }}{{4\pi {R^2}\sigma }}\,\ln \left( {\frac{16}{3}} \right)$
  • C$\frac{{M\alpha }}{{16\pi {R^2}\sigma }}\,\ln \left( {\frac{16}{3}} \right)$
  • D$\frac{{M\alpha }}{{16\pi {R^2}\sigma }}\,\ln \left( {\frac{3}{2}} \right)$
