A
8 min 20 s
B
6 min 2 s
C
7 min
D
14 min

Verified by Experts
The correct answer is:
A

Heat gained by the water = (Heat supplied by the coil) – (Heat dissipated to environment)

⇒ ⇒ $mc \Delta \theta = P_{\mathrm{Coil}} t - P_{\mathrm{Loss}} t$

⇒ ⇒ $2 \times 4.2 \times 10^3 \times (77 - 27) = 1000t - 160 t$

$\Rightarrow t = \frac{4.2 \times 10^{5}}{840} = 500 \text{ sec} = 8 \text{ min } 20 \text{ sec}$
