When the temperature difference between a body and its surroundings is \(20^{\circ}\text{C}\), it loses heat to the surroundings at a rate of \(40\) W. If the temperature difference increases to \(25^{\circ}\text{C}\), the rate of loss of heat is:
1. \(45\)
2. \(50\) W
3. \(60\)
4. \(80\) W

A body cools from \(52^\circ \text{C}\) to \(48^\circ \text{C}\) in \(6\) minutes. How much time will the same body take to cool from \(53^\circ \text{C}\) to \(47^\circ \text{C}?\) Assume cooling is linear with time.
1. \(12\) minutes
2. \(9\) minutes
3. \(8\) minutes
4. \(7\) minutes

A body loses heat at a rate of \(2~\text{W/min}\) when it is at a temperature of \(40^{\circ}\text C,\) but at a rate of \(1~\text{W/min}\) when its temperature is \(30^{\circ}\text C.\) The temperature of the surroundings is:
1. \(25^{\circ}\text{C}\)
2. \(20^{\circ}\text{C}\)
3. \(10^{\circ}\text C\)
4. \(35^{\circ}\text C\)
