Solution
The correct option is B Let the final temperature be T∘C. Total heat supplied by the three liquids in coming down to 0∘C=m1c1T1+m2c2T2+m3c3T3......(i) Total heat used by three liquids in raising temperature from 0∘CtoT∘C=m1c1T+m2c2T+m2c2T+m3c3T.....(ii) By equating (i) and (ii) we get (m1c1+m2c2+m2c2+m3c3)T=m1c1T1+m2c2T2+m3c3T3⇒T=m1c1T1+m2c2T2+m3c3T3m1c1+m2c2+m3c3
