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.

Two liquids of equal volume are cooled under identical conditions from $60^{\circ}C$ to $50^{\circ}C$ in $324 \; sec$ and $810 \; sec$ respectively. If the ratio of their specific heats is $3:4$,find the ratio of their densities. (The water equivalent of the calorimeter is negligible.)

Hot water kept in a beaker placed in a room cools from $70^{\circ}C$ to $60^{\circ}C$ in $4$ minutes. The time taken by it to cool from $69^{\circ}C$ to $59^{\circ}C$ will be
