Detailed Solution

As the surrounding is identical, vessel is identical . Time taken to cool both water and liquid (from 30°C to 25°C ) is same 2 minutes, thereforedQdtwater =dQdtliquid ​ or, mwCw+WΔTt=mlCl+WΔTt​ (W = water equivalent of the vessel) ​ or ,mwCW=mlCl​∴ Specific heat of liquid, Cl=mWCWml​=50×1100=0.5kcal/kg
