Newton's law of cooling holds good only if the temperature difference between the body and the surroundings is

Two solid spheres $A$ and $B$ made of the same material have radii $r_A$ and $r_B$ respectively. Both the spheres are cooled from the same temperature under the conditions valid for Newton's law of cooling. The ratio of the rate of change of temperature of $A$ and $B$ is :

Two solid spheres of radii $R_1$ and $R_2$ are made of the same material and have similar surfaces. The spheres are raised to the same temperature and then allowed to cool under identical conditions. Assuming the spheres to be perfect conductors of heat,the ratio of their initial rates of cooling is:

Consider two hot bodies $B_1$ and $B_2$ which have temperatures $100^oC$ and $80^oC$ respectively at $t = 0$. The temperature of the surroundings is $40^oC$. The ratio of the respective rates of cooling $R_1$ and $R_2$ of these two bodies at $t = 0$ will be

$A$ body cools from a temperature of $60^{\circ} C$ to $50^{\circ} C$ in $10 \text{ minutes}$ and $50^{\circ} C$ to $40^{\circ} C$ in $15 \text{ minutes}$. The time taken in minutes for the body to cool from $40^{\circ} C$ to $30^{\circ} C$ is
