The correct answer is: Equal volumes of the liquids at the same temperature are taken
d θ dt = σ A mc T 4 - T 0 4 . If the liquids put in exactly similar calorimeters and identical surrounding then we can consider T0 and A constant then d θ dt T 4 - T 0 4 mc

If we consider that equal masses of liquid (m) are taken at the same temperature then d θ dt 1 c

So for same rate of cooling c should be equal which is not possible because liquids are of different nature. Again from equation (i)

d θ dt T 4 - T 0 4 mc d θ dt T 4 - T 0 4 V ρ c

Now if we consider that equal volume of liquid (V) are taken at the same temperature then d θ dt 1 ρ c

So for same rate of cooling multiplication of ρ × c for two liquid of different nature can be possible
