Objects $A$ and $B$ that are initially separated from each other and well isolated from their surroundings are then brought into thermal contact. Initially $T_A= 0^oC$ and $T_B = 100^oC$. The specific heat of $A$ is less than the specific heat of $B$. After some time, the system comes to an equilibrium state. The final temperatures are :
