[Pb. PMT 2001]

Options:

A) 971 K

B) 1190 K

C) 2001 K

D) 1458 K

Show Answer

Answer:

Correct Answer: B

Solution:

$ \frac{Q _{2}}{Q _{1}}={{( \frac{T _{2}}{T _{1}} )}^{4}}\Rightarrow \frac{2}{1}={{( \frac{T _{2}}{T _{1}} )}^{4}} $

$ \Rightarrow T _{2}^{4}=2\times T _{1}^{4}=2\times {{(273+727)}^{4}} $

Therefore $ T _{2}=1190K $ .
