Question

A sphere , a cube and a thin circular plate,all of same materials and same mass, are initially heated to same high temperature.
  1. Plate will cool fastest and cube the slowest.
  2. Sphere will cool fastest and cube the slowest.
  3. Plate will cool fastest and sphere the slowest.
  4. Cube will cool fastest and plate the slowest.

A
Plate will cool fastest and cube the slowest.
B
Sphere will cool fastest and cube the slowest.
C
Cube will cool fastest and plate the slowest.
D
Plate will cool fastest and sphere the slowest.
Solution
Verified by Toppr

The circular plate has maximum surface area and as such it cools the fastest. For a given volume (mass in this case),a sphere has the least surface area and accordingly cools the slowest.
