Two identical objects $A$ and $B$ are at temperatures $T_A$ and $T_B$ respectively. Both objects are placed in a room with perfectly absorbing walls maintained at temperatures T $({T_A} > T > {T_B}).$ The objects A and B attain temperature $T $ eventually which one of the following is correct statement

(b) According to Prevost theory every body radiate heat at all temperature (except 0K) and also absorbs heat from surroundings.

${T_A} > T$ ==> Object $A$ emits radiations more than the radiations it absorbs.

and ${T_B} < T$ ==> Object $B$ absorbs more radiations than it emits.
After a certain time all bodies attains a common temperature.

    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.
