Two solid spheres $A$ and $B$ made of the same material have radii $r_A$ and $r_B$ respectively. Both the spheres are cooled from the same temperature under the conditions valid for Newton's law of cooling. The ratio of the rate of change of temperature of $A$ and $B$ is :

  • A
    $r_A / r_B$
  • B
    $r_B / r_A$
  • C
    $r_A^2 / r_B^2$
  • D
    $r_B^2 / r_A^2$
