    Answer : Option C

    Explanation :

    A cube at high temperature is immersed in a constant temperature bath. It loses heat from its top, bottom and side surfaces with heat transfer coefficients of h₁, h₂ and h₃ respectively. The average heat transfer coefficient for the cube is 1/h₁ + 1/h₂ + 1/h₃
