Energy radiated from a black body is given by
$U=\sigma \cdot A \cdot T^4 \cdot t$
where, $\sigma=$ Stefan's constant, $A=$ area, $T=$ absolute temperature and $t=$ time.
Now, ratio of energy collected in two given cases is
$\frac{U_2}{U_1} =\frac {(A / 2)(2 T)^4} {A T^4}=8$
Hence, ratio of temperature rise of water is
$\frac{m s \Delta T_2}{m s \Delta T_1}=\frac{U_2}{U_1}=8 .$
$\Rightarrow \quad \Delta T_2=8 \Delta T_1$
$\text { As, } \Delta T_1=1^{\circ} C \text { and } \Delta T_2=8^{\circ} C .$
So, temperature of water increases from $10^{\circ} C$ to $18^{\circ} C .$
