Question

Two identical bodies are made of a material for which the heat capacity increases with temperature. One of these is at $${100^ \circ }C,$$  while the other one is at $${0^ \circ }C.$$  If the two bodies are brought into contact, then assuming no heat loss, the final common temperature is

A. $${50^ \circ }C$$
B. more than $${50^ \circ }C$$  
C. less than $${50^ \circ }C$$  but greater than $${0^ \circ }C$$
D. $${0^ \circ }C$$
Answer :   more than $${50^ \circ }C$$
Solution :
Heat lost by Ist body = heat gained by IInd body. Body at $${100^ \circ }C$$  temperature has greater heat capacity than body at $${0^ \circ }C$$  so final temperature will be closer to $${100^ \circ }C.$$  So, $${T_c} > {50^ \circ }C.$$
