A hollow copper sphere $S$ and a hollow copper cube $ C$ , both of negligible thin walls of same area, are filled with water at $90°C$  and allowed to cool in the same environment. The graph that correctly represents their cooling is

A black coloured solid sphere of radius $R$ and mass $M$ is inside a cavity with vacuum inside. The walls of the cavity are maintained at temperature $T_0$. The initial temperature of the sphere is $3T_0$. If the specific heat of the material of the sphere varies as $\alpha T^3$ per unit mass with the temperature $T$ of the sphere, where $\alpha $ is a constant, then the time taken for the sphere to cool down to temperature $2T_0$ will be ( $\sigma $ is Stefan Boltzmann constant)
