Two liquids $A$ and $B$ are at temperatures of $75^{\circ} C$ and $15^{\circ} C$. Their masses are in the ratio of $2: 3$ and their specific heats in the ratio $3: 4$. If these two liquids are mixed,then the resulting temperature will be $...^{\circ} C$.

In an industrial process,$10 \, kg$ of water per hour is to be heated from $20^\circ C$ to $80^\circ C$. To do this,steam at $150^\circ C$ is passed from a boiler into a copper coil immersed in water. The steam condenses in the coil and is returned to the boiler as water at $90^\circ C$. How many $kg$ of steam is required per hour? (Specific heat of steam $= 1 \, cal/g^\circ C$,Latent heat of vaporisation $= 540 \, cal/g$)
