1. (b) Apply the temperature rise equation:
 
θ2 = θss 1 − e−t/τ + θ1 e−t/τ ...(1)

1M
For first 25 minutes, θ1 = 0◦ C, θ2 = 25◦ C,
t = 25 min Hence,
 
25 = θss 1 − e−25/τ ...(2)

1M
Again apply the temperature rise equation for first 50 mins, then
θ1 = 0◦ C, θ2 = 40◦ C, t = 50 min
 
−50/τ
40 = θss 1 − e ...(3)

1M
Let e−25/τ = x, then e−50/τ = x2 .Divide eqn. (3) by eqn. (2), then

1 − x2
 
= 1.6 ...(4)
1−x

1M
Eqn. (4) gives x = 0.6 ⇒ e−25/τ
= 0.6 ⇒ τ = 48.92 mins 1.5 M
Substitute e−25/τ = 0.6 in eqn. (1), then we get

25 = θss (1 − 0.6)
⇒ θss = 62.5◦ C
