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
  • A$t_{A}=t_{B}$
  • B$t_{B}=2 t_{A}$
  • C$t_{B}=4 t_{A}$
  • D$t_{B}=t_{A} / 2$

    An insulated container is filled with ice at $0\,^oC$ , and another container is filled with water that is continuously boiling at $100\,^oC$ . In series of experiments, the containers are connected by various thick metal rods that pass through the walls of container as shown in the figure

    In the experiment $I$ : a copper rod is used and all ice melts in $20$ minutes.

    In the experiment $II$ : a steel rod of identical dimensions is used and all ice melts in $80$ minutes.

    In the experiment $III$ : both the rods are used in series and all ice melts in $t_{10}$ minutes.

    In the experiment $IV$ : both rods are used in parallel and all ice melts in $t_{20}$ minutes.
