Certain quantity of water cools from 70   o C to 60   o C in the first 5 minutes and to 54   o C in the next 5 minutes. The temperature of the surroundings is:
Options
- A45 o C
- B20 o C
- C42 o C
- D10 o C
Correct answer
A. 45 o C
Step-by-step solution
60 - 70 5 = - K 65 - T 54 - 60 5 - K 57 - T - 10 - 6 = 65 - T 57 - T 285 - 5 T = 195 - 3 T 90 = 2 T T = 45 o
