Abida and Ramesh were doing an experiment in which water to be heated in a beaker. Abida kept the beaker near the wick in the yellow part of the candle flame. Ramesh kept the beaker in the outermost part of the flame.whose water will get heated in a shorter time?

One day in the morning, Ramesh filled up 1/3 bucket of hot water from geyser, to take bath. Remaining 2.3 was to be filled by cold water (at room temperature) to bring mixture to a comfortable temperature. Suddenly Ramesh had to attend to something which would take some time say 5 - 10 minutes before he could take bath. Now the he had two options: (i) fill the remaining bucket completely by cold water and then attend to the work, (ii) first attend to the work and fill the remaining bucket just before taking bath. Which option do you think would have kept water warmer ? Explain.
