Does the required time to heat a body from 20°C to 40°C the same as from 40°C to 60°C?

No
The other comments mention that it will require the same amount of energy. While that’s true (unless there’s a phase change), the object will lose some of that heat to its surroundings. The hotter it is, the faster it’ll lose heat, so it’ll eventually reach a point where it’s losing as much heat as is being put into it. At that point, it stops heating up.
