As we have learned

Rate of Loss of Heat -

\frac{dQ}{dt}=A\epsilon\sigma(\theta^{4}-\theta_{0}^{4})

-

 

 

 

Power of radiation is given by 

P=e\sigma AT^{4}

P=e\sigma4\pi r^{4}T^{4}

\frac{P_{2}}{P_{1}}= \left(\frac{r_{2}}{r_{1}} \right )^{2}. \left(\frac{T_{2}}{T_{1}} \right )^{4}-(2)^{4}.2^{2}

Correct option is 4.
