    closer to 90oC

    Explanation:

    The heat lost by the hot water is equal to the heat gained by the cold water.

    Heat loss = mcΔθ

    let the mass of hot water be m then the mass of cold water will be 2m

    let the final temperature be F

    2m * c * (90 - F) = m * c * (F - 10)

    180 - 2F = F - 10

    3F = 190

    F = 63.33oC

    63.33 - 10 = 53.33oC

    90 - 63.33 = 26.67oC

    Based on the computation, the final temperature will be closer to 90oC.
