    A solid body of constant heat capacity $1\ J/^o C$ is being heated by keeping it in contact with reservoirs in two ways :

    $(i)$ Sequentially keeping in contact with $2$ reservoirs such that each reservoir supplies same amount of heat.

    $(ii)$ Sequentially keeping in contact with $8$ reservoirs such that each reservoir supplies same amount of heat.

    In both the cases body is brought from initial temperature $100^o C$ to final temperature $200^o C$. Entropy change of the body in the two cases respectively is :
