SSC MTS EXAM

Detailed explanation-1: -The atoms in the hot bodies have higher kinetic energy than those of the cold bodies. Thus to maintain thermal equilibrium, the atoms of higher kinetic energy tries to move and collide with the atoms of low kinetic energy. Thus heat transfers from a hot body to a cold body.

Detailed explanation-2: -We know hot things cool down when they touch cold things, and cold things heat up when they touch hot things. So, that means the hot thing has to be losing energy, and the cold thing has to be gaining energy. That means that heat is flowing from hot to cold.
