Solution
The correct option is B Beaker R has more heat energy than beaker Q. The heat energy present in the beaker depends upon (i) the amount of water present in it, and
(ii)
the temperature of the water. As the highest amount of water at the
highest temperature is present in beaker R, thus beaker R, will have the
highest amount of heat energy.
