Solution

The correct option is B The water in bucket B is hotter than in bucket A.
  • Himanshu feels hotness in his right hand after dipping it in normal water. So, the normal water is at a higher temperature than the water in bucket A.
  • Similarly, he feels coldness in his left hand because the water in bucket B is warmer than the normal water.
  • So, the order of temperature is as follows:
Bucket A < Bucket with normal water < Bucket B
  • Therefore, the water in bucket B is hotter than that in bucket A.
