Official Solution

Correct Option: (1)

$Let's denote the temperature of the body at time t as T(t) and the temperature of the surrounding air as T0. We can write the differential equation for the cooling process as: = -k(T - T 0) Where k is the cooling constant. Given that the body cools from 80 °C to 70 °C in 5 minutes, we can use this information to find the value of k. Let's use the midpoint temperature (75 °C) during this 5-minute interval: (-k)(75 - 20) = 70 - 20 -55k = -50 k = K = Now we can solve the differential equation to find the temperature of the body after 15 minutes: = - (T - 20) Separating variables and integrating: dT = - dt Integrating both sides: ln|T - 20| = t + C Taking the exponential of both sides: |T - 20| = e ((-10/11)t + C) Since T - 20 cannot be negative, we can remove the absolute value sign: T - 20 = e ((-10/11)t + C) Simplifying the constant of integration, let's assume T(0) = 80 °C: 80 - 20 = e C e C = 60 Substituting back into the equation: T - 20 = 60e ((-10/11)t) Now we can find the temperature after 15 minutes (t = 15): T - 20 = 60e ((-10/11) * 15) T - 20 = 60 e(-150/11) T = 20 + 60e (-150/11) Calculating this expression, we find that T \approx 54.7 °C. Therefore, the temperature of the body after 15 minutes will be approximately 54.7 °C. Hence, the correct answer is option (A) 54.7 °C.$

$Detailed Solution: Step 1: Apply the natural logarithm to both sides To eliminate the exponential function on the left side, we take the natural logarithm (ln) of both sides: ln (e ½(dy/dx)) = ln (3 x) Step 2: Use logarithmic identities to simplify both sides Using the identity ln(e a) = a, the left side becomes ½(dy/dx) Using the identity ln(a b) = b \times ln(a), the right side becomes x \times ln(3) So we now have: ½(dy/dx) = x \times ln(3) Step 3: Multiply both sides by 2 to isolate dy/dx dy/dx = 2x \times ln(3) Step 4: Integrate both sides with respect to their respective variables We now integrate both sides: \int dy = \int 2x \times ln(3) dx Step 5: Pull out constants and integrate Since ln(3) is a constant, we can factor it out: y = 2ln(3) \times \int x dx Now integrate x: \int x dx = x² / 2 So, y = 2ln(3) \times (x² / 2) + C₁ Step 6: Simplify the expression The 2 and ½ cancel out: y = ln(3) \times x² + C₁ Step 7: Generalize the constant Since C₁ is just a constant of integration, we can rename it simply as C for simplicity: Final Answer: y = x² log 3 + C Therefore, the correct answer is: (B) y = x² log 3 + C$
