A 10 Watt electric heater is used to heat a container filled with 0.5 kg of water. It is found that the temperature of water and the container rises by 3 K in 15 minutes. The container is then emptied, dried and filled with 2 kg of oil. The same heater now raises the temperature of container-oil system by 2 K in 20 minutes. Assuming that there is no heat loss in the process and the specific heat of water as `4200Jkg^(-1)K^(-1)`,the specific heat of oil in the same unit is equal to

A

A calorimeter of water equivalent 10 g contains 100 g of water at 90^(@)C . On exposure to air, its temperature falls to 80^(@)C in 5 min. If the same calorimeter is filled with 50 g of an oil, the time for the same drop in temperature is 2 min. Calculate the specific heat of the oil if the rate of heat loss in both the cases is assumed to be the same.
