When 100 g of a liquid A at 100oC is added to 50 g of a liquid B at temperature 75oC, the temperature of the mixture becomes 90oC. The temperature of the mixture, if 100 g of liquid A at 100oC is added to 50 g of liquid B at 50oC, will be :
- A60oC
- B70oC
- C85oC
- D80oC

Correct answer: D
-
Let the specific heats of liquids and be and respectively.
-
Use the first mixing condition:
- Mass of , initial temperature
- Mass of , initial temperature
- Final temperature
Since heat lost by = heat gained by ,
- Now use the second condition:
- Mass of at
- Mass of at
- Let final temperature be
Again,
Substitute :
Cancel :
- Check options:
- A: ❌
- B: ❌
- C: ❌
- D: ✅
Therefore, the correct answer is Option D.
