Spheres $P$ and $Q$ are uniformly constructed from the same material which is a good conductor of heat and the radius of $Q$ is thrice the radius of $P$. The rate of fall of temperature of $P$ is $x$ times that of $Q$ when both are at the same surface temperature. The value of $x$ is :

$r_{Q}=3 r_{P}$

$\frac{d T}{d t}=$ Rate of fall temperature

given $\left(\frac{d T}{d t}\right)_{P}=x\left(\frac{d T}{d t}\right)_{Q}\left[m=\text { density } \times \text { volume }=\rho \times \frac{4}{3} \pi r^{3}\right]$

$\frac{d Q}{d t}=\sigma e A T^{4}=m s \frac{d T}{d t}$

$\left(\frac{d T}{d t}\right)_{P}=\frac{\sigma e\left(4 \pi r p^{2}\right)^{4}}{\rho_{3}^{4} \pi r p^{2}}=\frac{3 \sigma e T^{4}}{\rho r p}$

$\frac{\left(\frac{d T}{d t}\right)_{P}}{\left(\frac{d T}{d t}\right)_{Q}}=\frac{r_{q}}{r_{p}}=3$
