Equal masses of two liquids A and B contained in vessels of negligible heat capacity are supplied heat at the same rate. The temperature-time graphs for the two liquids are shown in figure. If S represent specific heat and L represents latent heat of liquid, then-
Text Solution
Verified by ExpertsThe correct answer is:
D
As temperature of 
rises faster than temperature of 
, therefore specific heat of 
is less than that of 
.
Horizontal portions of graphs represent conversion of liquid into vapours.
Therefore, boiling point of 
boiling point of 
.
Therefore, 
.
