Two bottles $A$ and $B$ have radii $R_{A}$ and $R_{B}$ and heights $h_{A}$ and $h_{B}$ respectively,with $R_{B}=2 R_{A}$ and $h_{B}=2 h_{A}$. These are filled with hot water at $60^{\circ} C$. Consider that heat loss for the bottles takes place only from side surfaces. If the time the water takes to cool down to $50^{\circ} C$ is $t_{A}$ and $t_{B}$ for bottles $A$ and $B$,respectively,then $t_{A}$ and $t_{B}$ are best related as:

  • A
    $t_{A}=t_{B}$
  • B
    $t_{B}=2 t_{A}$
  • C
    $t_{B}=4 t_{A}$
  • D
    $t_{B}=t_{A} / 2$
