    Two identical bodies are made of a material for
    which the heat capacity increases with temperature.
    One of these is at 100 °C, while the other one is
    at 0°C. If the two bodies are brought into contact,
    then, assuming no heat loss, the final common
    temperature is :-
    (1) less than 50 °C but greater than 0 °C
    (2) 0 °C
    (3) 50 °C
    (4) more than 50 °C

    Sol. Let  be the final common temperature. Further,
    let sc and sh be the average heat capacities of the
    cold and hot (initially) bodies respectively (where sc
    < sh given)
    From, principle of calorimetry,
    heat lost = heat gained
    sh(100°C - ) = sc
    ∴ = h
