One day in the morning,Ramesh filled up $\frac{1}{3}$ of a bucket with hot water from a geyser to take a bath. The remaining $\frac{2}{3}$ was to be filled with cold water (at room temperature) to bring the mixture to a comfortable temperature. Suddenly,Ramesh had to attend to some work that would take $5-10 \text{ min}$ before he could take a bath. He had two options: $(1)$ fill the remaining bucket completely with cold water and then attend to the work,$(2)$ first attend to the work and then fill the remaining bucket just before taking a bath. Which option do you think would have kept the water warmer? Explain.
