A body cools down from \(65^\circ \text{C}\) to \(60^\circ \text{C}\) in \(5\) minutes. It will cool down from \(60^\circ \text{C}\) to \(55^\circ \text{C}\) in:

1. \(5\) minutes
2. less than \(5\) minutes
3. more than \(5\) minutes
4. less than or more than \(5\) minutes depending on whether its mass is more than or less than \(1~\text{kg}\)
