The temperature of 50\text{ g} of liquid was raised by 60\text{ K} when it was used to cool a steel ball of mass 100\text{ g} from 150^\circ\text{C} to 70^\circ\text{C}. If the specific heat capacity of steel is 450\text{ J/kg K} what is the specific heat capacity of the liquid?

1. (A)1200\text{ J/kg K}
2. (B)675\text{ J/kg K}
3. (C)120\text{ J/kg K}
4. (D)300\text{ J/kg K}
