Solution

The correct option is B Cp ln[(T1+T2)24T1T2]
As the two boxes are identical, So Cp will be same for both and
Tfinal=T1+T22

Entropy change in the first box will be given by
S1=Cp ln TfTisince,Ti=T1S1=Cp ln TfT1

Entropy change in the second box will be given by
S2=Cp ln TfTisince,Ti=T2S2=Cp ln TfT2

Total entropy change will be given by addition of above two.
S=S1+S2=Cp lnT2fT1T2
putting the value of Tf
S=Cp ln[(T1+T2)24T1T2]
