200 gm of a solid ball at 200C is dropped in an equal amount of water at 800C. The resulting temperature is 600C. This means specific heat of solid is -

A

One forth of water

B

One half of water

C

Twice of water

D

Four times of water

Answer

One half of water

Explanation

Solution

Heat absorbed by solid = Heat released by water

200 × Ssolid × 40 = 200 × Swater × 20

2 Ssolid = Swater

Ssolid = Swater 2\frac { S _ { \text {water } } } { 2 }
