When equal weights of iron and water are subjected to equal supply of heat, it is found that the piece of iron become more hotter than water after a short time because
the specific heat of iron is higher than that of water
iron is in solid form
water is in liquid form
the specific heat of water is higher than that of iron
the specific heat of iron is infinite

thats why Jamb questions are so technical,hence for you to emerge a winner,you need to think extensively!
Now when something has a high specific heat capacity,it means that the temperature required to raise the body by 1k is high and as a result of that,the thing will not get hot quickly
conversely,when a body has a low specific heat capacity,it means the temperature required to raise the body by 1k is small and so,the substance get hotter fastee
I hope this helps
i just came across the question yeaterday and really thought about it
