Solution

The correct option is B A and B will represent cooling curves of water and oil respectively
As we know, Rate of cooling $\propto \frac{1}{s p e c i f i c h e a t (c)}$
$∵ C_{o i l} < C_{W a t e r}$
$\Rightarrow (R a t e o f c o o l i n g)_{o i l} > (R a t e o f c o o l i n g)_{W a t e r}$

It is clear that, at a particular time after start cooling, temperature of oil will be less than that of water.
So graph B represents the cooling curve of oil and A represents the cooling curve of water
