Mass m of a liquid A is kept in a cup and it is at a temperature of 90^(@)C . When placed in a room having temperature of 20^(@)C , it takes 5 min for the temperature of the liquid to drop to 30^(@)C . Another liquid B has nearly same density as that of A and its sample of mass m kept in another identical cup at 50^(@)C takes 5 min for its temperature to fall to 30^(@)C when placed in room having temperature 20^(@)C . If the two liquids at 90^(@)C and 50^(@)C are mixed in a calorimeter where no heat is allowed to leak, find the final temperature of the mixture. Assume that Newton’s law of cooling is applicable for given temperature ranges.

The temperature of equal masses of three different liquids x, y and z are 10^(@)C, 20^(@)C and 30^(@)C respectively. The temperature of mixture when x is mixed with y is 16^(@)C and that when y is mixed with z is 26^(@)C . The temperature of mixture when x and z are mixed will be :
