    Answer : Option C

    Explanation :

    Correct Option is (D)

    Rate of heat transfer by radiation = A x T4 Temperature is same for both spheres A = Surface area Surface area of sphere = π d2 Cooling rate of big sphere / Cooling rate of small sphere = d2 big / d2small Hence cooling rate will takes place in the ratio of 4 : 1
