Bohr and Biot purchased two electric kettles A and B of the same size and thickness and same volume of 0.4 litre. They studied the specification of kettles as under
Kettle A : specific heat capacity;1680 J/kg–k, mass = 200 gm cost = Rs. 400
Kettle B : specific heat capacity = 2450 J/kg–K mass = 400 gm cost = Rs 400 . When kettle A is switched on with constant potential source, the tea begins to boil in 6 minutes. When kettle B is switched on with same source separately, tea begins to boil in 8 minutes. They made discussion on specification and efficiency of kettles and prepared a list of questions to draw a conclusion. Some of these are as under (take specific heat of tea liquid = 4200 J/kg–k, and density = 1000 kg/m3)
 
If both the kettles are joined with the same source in series one after the other .The boiling starts in kettle A & B after
  1. four times of their original time
  2. two times of their original time
  3. equal to their original time
  4. can not be ascertained from this data.

Answer

(A) four times of their original time
