Detailed Solution

Let X be the thermal capacity of calorimeter and spe­cific heat of water = 4200 J/kg-K.Heat lost by 0.1 kg of water = Heat gained by water in calorimeter + Heat gained by calorimeter0.1 × 4200 × (60 - 35) = 0.2 × 4200 × (35 - 30) + X(35 - 30)                         10500 = 4200 + 5X ⇒ X = 1260 J/K
