Heat transfer occurs until the metal temperature and water temperature are the same.
So the only possible final temperatures of the metal and the water after the system reaches equilibrium are
- Metal temperature is 305 K, water temperature is 305 K
The other 3 choices are ruled out because the metal and water temperatures are not the same.
