    The temperature of equal masses of three different liquids A, B and C are \[\text{12}{{\,}^{\text{o}}}\text{C,}\,\text{19}{{\,}^{\text{o}}}\text{C}\]and \[\text{28}{{\,}^{\text{o}}}\text{C}\]respectively. The temperature when A and B are mixed is \[\text{16}{{\,}^{\text{o}}}\text{C}\]and when B and C are mixed is \[\text{23}{{\,}^{\text{o}}}\text{C}\text{.}\] The temperature when A and C are mixed is

    A)  \[18.2{{\,}^{o}}C\]                         

    B)  \[22{{\,}^{o}}C\]

    C)  \[20.2{{\,}^{o}}C\]                         

    D)  \[24.2{{\,}^{o}}C\]

    Correct Answer: C

    Solution :

                     1st case \[m{{s}_{A}}(t-{{t}_{A}})=m{{s}_{B}}({{t}_{B}}-t)\] \[{{s}_{A}}(16-12)={{s}_{B}}(19-16)\] \[4{{s}_{A}}=3{{s}_{B}}\] 2nd case \[m{{s}_{B}}(t-{{t}_{B}})=m{{s}_{C}}({{t}_{C}}-t)\] \[{{s}_{B}}(23-19)={{s}_{C}}(28-23)\] \[4{{s}_{B}}=5{{s}_{C}}\] \[3{{s}_{B}}=\frac{15}{4}{{s}_{C}}\]                 \[\therefore \]  \[4{{s}_{A}}=3{{s}_{B}}=\frac{15}{4}{{s}_{C}}\] \[\Rightarrow \]               \[16\,{{s}_{A}}=12{{s}_{B}}=15{{s}_{C}}=k\] \[{{s}_{A}}:{{s}_{B}}:{{s}_{C}}=\frac{1}{16}:\frac{1}{12}:\frac{1}{15}\] \[{{s}_{A}}=\frac{k}{16},{{s}_{C}}=\frac{k}{15}\] When A and C are mixed \[m{{s}_{A}}(t-{{t}_{A}})=m{{s}_{C}}({{t}_{C}}-t)\] \[\frac{k}{16}(t-12)=\frac{k}{15}(28-t)\] \[15t-180=448-16t\] \[31t=628\] \[\Rightarrow \]               \[t=20.2{{\,}^{o}}C\]
