Consider two hot bodies $B_1$ and $B_2$ which have temperatures $100^oC$ and $80^oC$ respectively at $t = 0$. The temperature of the surroundings is $40^oC$. The ratio of the respective rates of cooling $R_1$ and $R_2$ of these two bodies at $t = 0$ will be

  • A
    $R_1:R_2 = 3:2$
  • B
    $R_1:R_2 = 5:4$
  • C
    $R_1:R_2 = 2:3$
  • D
    $R_1:R_2 = 4:5$
