Detailed Solution

In accordance with principle of calorimetry : 
 When A and  B are mixed 
 mcA(1612)=mcB(1916)     
 and when B and C are mixed 
mcB(2319)=mcC(2823)  cC=(4/5)cB     
 Now when A and C are mixed if T is the common temperature of mixture:
   mcA(T12)=mcC(28T)
 Substituting cA and cC from above, 
 (3/4)(T12)=(4/5)(28T)  
 which on solving gives, 
T=20.25ºC
