Here body A is hotter and body B is colder. So body A loses heat and body B gains heat. In this process, thermal capacity of body A deceases. So, we can say average thermal capacity of body A is lesser than that of body B.

By principle of calorimetry,

mAcAavgθA=mBcBθB

Since mAcAavg<mBcB, therefore, θA>θB

Body A loses more temperature than what body B gains. So, final common temperature is <500C but >00C
