The temperature of a body falls from \(50^{\circ}\text{C}\) to \(40^{\circ}\text{C}\) in \(10\) minutes. If the temperature of the surroundings is \(20^{\circ}\text{C},\) then the temperature of the body after another \(10\) minutes will be:
1. \(36.6^{\circ}\text{C}\)          
2. \(33.3^{\circ}\text{C}\)
3. \(35^{\circ}\text{C}\)             
4. \(30^{\circ}\text{C}\)
