The correct answer is: 1.4 minute

From Newton's law of cooling, we have

ΔQΔt=-KTavg-T0

Where, Q=msTm is the mass, s is the specific heat and T is the temperature change.

Case 1:

t=2 minutes, T0=22°C

ms×122=-K98+862-22

6=-Kms70    ...1

Case 2:

ms×6Δt=-K75+692-22

6Δt=-Kms(50)   ...2

Dividing (2) by (1), we get

6Δt(6)=5070

Δt=75=1.4 min
