As we learnt in

When body Cools by Radiation from theta1 degree c to theta two degree c in time t -

left[frac{	heta_{1}-	heta_{2}}{t} 
ight ]=kleft[frac{	heta_{1}+	heta_{2}}{2}-	heta_{0} 
ight ]

- wherein

	heta_{av}=frac{	heta_{1}+	heta_{2}}{2}

 

 

 

From newton's law of cooling 

\\ \frac{3T-2T}{10}=K.(\frac{3T+2T}{2}-T)=\frac{3}{2}KT

\frac{T}{10}=\frac{3KT}{2}\ \: \: \: \:or\: \: \: \: K=\frac{1}{15}\ \: \: \: ..........(1)

Let us say temperature after 10 minutes become T1

Then \frac{2T-T_{1}}{10}=K\left [ \frac{2T+T_{1}}{2}-T \right ]

 \\ \frac{2T-T_{1}}{10}=\frac{1}{15}(\frac{T_{1}}{2})\\ or\ \: \: 6T-3T_{1}=T_{1}\ \: \: \: or\ \: \: T_{1}=\frac{3}{2}T


Option 1)

\frac{7} {4}T

This solution is incorrect 

Option 2)

\frac{3} {2}T

This solution is correct 

Option 3)

\frac{4} {3}T

This solution is incorrect 

Option 4)

T

This solution is incorrect
