According to Newton's law of cooling, - dθ dt = k(θ - θ0)
or - dθ θ − θ 0 = kdt
− ∫ θ 1 θ 2 dθ θ − θ 0 = k ∫ 0 t dt
− |log e θ − θ 0 | θ 1 θ 2 = kt
or loge (θ1 - θ0) - loge (θ2 - θ0) = kt
or loge θ 1 − θ 0 θ 2 − θ 0 = kt
In the first case,
kt = loge 62 - 30 61 - 30 or kt = loge 32 31 .....(1)
In the second case,
kt' = loge 46 - 30 45.5 - 30
or kt' = loge 16 15.5 or kt' = loge 160 155
or kt' = loge 32 31 .....(2)
It follows from (1) and (2) that t = t'

Explanation:
Given Data:
- Initial temperature (T1) = 62 degree C
- Final temperature (T2) = 61 degree C
- Surrounding temperature (Ts) = 30 degree C
Formula for Newton's Law of Cooling:
dT/dt = -k(T - Ts)
Calculating time taken to cool from 62 degree C to 61 degree C:
- Let's assume the time taken is T minutes
- Using the formula and given data, we get:
dT/dt = -k(62 - 30) = -k(32)
Integrating the above equation, we get:
ln|dT| = -32kt + C1
Solving for C1 and using the initial condition dT = 1 at t = 0, we get:
ln|1| = 0 = C1
Therefore, the equation becomes:
ln|dT| = -32kt
At t = T minutes, dT = 1, so:
ln|1| = -32kT
0 = -32kT
T = 1/32k
Calculating time taken to cool from 46 degree C to 45.5 degree C:
- Using the same formula and given data, we get:
dT/dt = -k(46 - 30) = -k(16)
Integrating the above equation, we get:
ln|dT| = -16kt + C2
Solving for C2 and using the initial condition dT = 0.5 at t = 0, we get:
ln|0.5| = C2
Therefore, the equation becomes:
ln|dT| = -16kt
At t = T minutes, dT = 0.5, so:
ln|0.5| = -16kT
-0.693 = -16kT
T = 0.693/16k
Comparing the time taken:
- T = 1/32k and T = 0.693/16k
- Simplifying both equations, we get:
T = 0.03125/k and T = 0.0433125/k
Since 0.0433125 is greater than 0.03125, the time taken to cool from 46 degree C to 45.5 degree C is greater than T minutes.
Therefore, the correct answer is option 'b' - Equal to T minutes.
