Solution

When two objects initially at different temperatures are placed in contact with each other, heat flows from the body which is at a higher temperature to the body which is at a lower temperature.
Heat continues to flow till both the body attain the same temperature.
When both the body attain the same temperature then heat flows stop and we say thermal equilibrium has been achieved.
Hence, when two objects initially at different temperatures are placed in contact with each other, heat flows from the body which is at a higher temperature to the body which is at a lower temperature.
