[AIEEE 2004]

Options:

A) 200 sec

B) 150 sec

C) 836 sec

D) 418 sec

Answer:

Correct Answer: B

Solution:

$ W=JH $

Therefore $ P\times t=J\times m,s,\Delta \theta $

Therefore $ t=\frac{J\times m\times s\Delta \theta }{P} $ (For water 1 litre = 1kg)

Therefore $ t=\frac{4.2\times 1\times 1000\times (40-10)}{836}=150,sec $ Short Trick: use formula $ t=\frac{4200\times m\times \Delta \theta }{P} $
