Solution

The correct option is B 1.36 times
The rate at which a substance radiates is directly proportional to the fourth power of the absolute temperature.
The temperature increases from 300K to 324.2K which is an increase by 1.080
Hence the rate at which the metal radiates would increase by (1.08)4 = 1.36
