    				| 1. | Equal masses of three liquids A, B and C have temperature `10^(@)C, 25^(@)C` and `40^(@)c` respectively. If A and B are mixed, the mixture has a temperature of `15^(@)C`. If B and C are mixed, the mixture has a temperature of `30^(@)C`, if A and C are mixed will have a temperature ofA. `16^(@)C`B. `20^(@)C`C. `25^(@)C`D. `29^(@)C` | 
| Answer» Correct Answer - A When A and B are mixed. `mc_(A)(15-10) = mc_(B)(25-15)` or `c_(A)/c_(B) = 2`...............(i) When B and C are mixed `mc_(B)(30-25) = mc_(cC(40-30)` or `c_(B)/c_(C) = 2`...........(ii) From Eqs. (i) and (ii), we have `c_(A)/c_(C) = 4` Now let `theta` be the equilibrium temperature when A and C are mixed. Then `mc_(A)(theta-10) = mc_(C)(40-theta)` or `4(theta-10)=40-theta` (Using `c_(A)/c_(C) = 4`) or `theta=16^(@)`C | |
