The correct answer is: $5.3$
The heat loss is given as $\mathrm{R}=\mathrm{e} \sigma \mathrm{A}\left(\mathrm{T}^4-\mathrm{T}_0^4\right)$
Let surrounding temperature be denoted as $\mathrm{T}$ Heat loss from the metal sphere at a temperature $\mathrm{T}_1$
$$
\mathrm{R}_1=\operatorname{e} \sigma \mathrm{A}\left(\mathrm{T}_1^4-\mathrm{T}_0^4\right)
$$

Heat loss from the metal sphere at a temperature $\mathrm{T}_2$
$$
R_2=e \sigma A\left(T_2^4-T^4\right)
$$
$$
\begin{aligned}
\therefore \quad \frac{\mathrm{R}_1}{\mathrm{R}_2} & =\frac{\mathrm{T}_1^4-\mathrm{T}^4}{\mathrm{~T}_2^4-\mathrm{T}^4}=\frac{900^4-300^4}{600^4-300^4} \\
\frac{\mathrm{R}_1}{\mathrm{R}_2} & =5.3
\end{aligned}
$$
