Answer:
Correct Answer: B
Solution:
$ \frac{{\theta _{1}}-{\theta _{2}}}{t}=K,( \frac{{\theta _{1}}+{\theta _{2}}}{2}-{\theta _{0}} ) $
$ \
Therefore $ $ \frac{100-70}{4}=K,( \frac{100+70}{2}-15 ) $ = 60K
Therefore K = $ \frac{1}{8} $ Again $ \frac{70-40}{t}=\frac{1}{8}( \frac{70+40}{2}-15 ) $ = 5
Therefore t = 6 min.
