$A$ $10 \ W$ electric heater is used to heat a container filled with $0.5 \ kg$ of water. It is found that the temperature of the water and the container rises by $3 \ K$ in $15 \ min$. The container is then emptied, dried, and filled with $2 \ kg$ of oil. The same heater now raises the temperature of the container-oil system by $2 \ K$ in $20 \ min$. Assuming that there is no heat loss in the process and the specific heat of water is $4200 \ J \ kg^{-1} \ K^{-1}$, the specific heat of oil in the same unit is equal to:

  • A
    $1.50 \times 10^{3}$
  • B
    $2.55 \times 10^{3}$
  • C
    $3.00 \times 10^{3}$
  • D
    $5.10 \times 10^{3}$
