Gulab Jamuns (assumed to be spherical) are to be heated in an oven. They are available in two sizes, one twice bigger (in radius) than the other. Pizzas (assumed to be discs) are also to be heated in the oven. They are also in two sizes, one twice bigger (in radius) than the other. All four are put together to be heated to oven temperature.

(a) Both size gulab jamuns will get heated in the same time.

(b) Smaller gulab jamuns are heated before bigger ones.

(c) Smaller pizzas are heated before bigger ones.

(d) Bigger pizzas are heated before smaller ones.

Choose the correct alterative/s:

1.  (b, c)

2.  (a, d)

3.  (b, d)

4.  (c, d)

(1) Hint: The rate of heating depends on the surface area.
Smaller gulab jamuns are having the least surface area hence, they will be heated first. As in the case of smaller gulab jamuns, heat radiates will be less. Similarly, smaller pizzas are heated before bigger ones because they are of small surface area.
