$\frac{{{\theta _1} - {\theta _2}}}{t} = K\,\left( {\frac{{{\theta _1} + {\theta _2}}}{2} - {\theta _0}} \right)$

$\therefore $$\frac{{100 - 70}}{4} = K\,\left( {\frac{{100 + 70}}{2} - 15} \right) = 60K$

==> $K = \frac{3}{28}$

Again $\frac{{70 - 40}}{t} = \frac{3}{28}\left( {\frac{{70 + 40}}{2} - 15} \right)$ $= 5$

==>$t = 7\; min$

    Two bottles $A$ and $B$ have radii $R_{A}$ and $R_{B}$ and heights $h_{A}$ and $h_{B}$ respectively, with $R_{B}=2 R_{A}$ and $h_{B}=2 h_{A}$. These are filled with hot water at $60^{\circ} C$. Consider that heat loss for the bottles takes place only from side surfaces. If the time, the water takes to cool down to $50^{\circ} C$ is $t_{A}$ and $t_{B}$ for bottles $A$ and $B$, respectively. Then, $t_{A}$ and $t_{B}$ are best related as
