(c) $\frac{{{\theta _1} - {\theta _2}}}{t} = K\left[ {\frac{{{\theta _1} + {\theta _2}}}{2} - {\theta _0}} \right]$
In the first 10 minute
$\frac{{62 - 50}}{{10}} = K\,\left[ {\frac{{62 + 50}}{2} - {\theta _0}} \right]$

==> $1.2 = \,K\,[56 - {\theta _0}]$ .... $(i)$
$\frac{{50 - 42}}{{10}} = K\,\left[ {\frac{{50 + 42}}{2} - {\theta _0}} \right]$

==> $0.8 = \,K\,[46 - {\theta _0}]$ .... $(ii)$
from equations $ (i)$ and $(ii)$

$\frac{{1.2}}{{0.8}} = \frac{{(56 - {\theta _0})}}{{(46 - {\theta _0})}}$

==> ${\theta _0} = 26^\circ C$
