Options:
  • A $t_{2}^{4}-t_{1}^{4}$
  • B $\left(f_{2}^{4}+273\right)-\left(t_{1}^{4}+273\right)$
  • C $t_{2}-t_{1}$
  • D $t_{2}^{2}-t_{1}^{2}$

The correct answer is: $t_{2}-t_{1}$
As we know that, the rate of cooling is
$$
\frac{d \theta}{d t}=b A\left(\theta-\theta_{0}\right)
$$
where, $b A=$ constant $\Rightarrow \quad \frac{d \theta}{d t} \propto \theta-\theta_{0}$
Also $-\frac{d T}{d t} \propto T-T_{0}$
where, $T=$ temperature and $\quad t=$ time
So, the rate of heat absorbed by cooled body is proportional to $t_{2}-t_{1}$
