Two different metal bodies \(A\) and \(B\) of equal mass are heated at a uniform rate under similar conditions. The variation of temperature of the bodies is graphically represented as shown in the figure. The ratio of specific heat capacities is :

Pick an option to check your answer.
Answer & Solution
Correct Answer
(B) \(\frac{3}{8}\)
Step-by-step Solution
Detailed explanation
\(\left(\frac{\Delta Q }{\Delta t }\right)_{ A }=\left(\frac{\Delta Q }{\Delta t }\right)_{ B }\)
\(mc _{ A }\left(\frac{\Delta T }{\Delta t }\right)_{ A }= mc _{ B }\left(\frac{\Delta T }{\Delta t }\right)_{ B }\)
\(\frac{c_{ A }}{c _{ B }}=\frac{\left(\frac{\Delta T }{\Delta t }\right)_{ A }}{\left(\frac{\Delta T }{\Delta t }\right)_{ B }}=\frac{90 / 6}{120 / 3}=\frac{15}{40}=\frac{3}{8}\)
