According to the Law of Conservation of Energy, energy is neither created nor destroyed. They are just transferred from one system to another. To obey this law, the energy of the substances inside the container must be equal to the substance added to it. The energy is in the form of heat. There can be two types of heat energy: latent heat and sensible heat. Sensible heat is energy added or removed when a substance changes in temperature. Latent heat is the energy added or removed at a constant temperature during a phase change. Since there is no mention of phase change, we assume the heat involved here is sensible heat. The equation for sensible heat is:

H = mCpΔT
where
m is the mass of the substance
Cp is the specific heat of a certain type of material or substance
ΔT is the change in temperature.

So the law of conservation of heat tells that:

Sensible heat of Z + Sensible heat of container = Sensible heat of X

Since we have no idea what these substances are, there is no way of knowing the Cp. We can't proceed with the calculations. So, we can only assume that in the duration of 15 minutes, the whole system achieves equilibrium. Therefore, the equilibrium temperature of the system is equal to 32°C. The answer is C.

For the answer to the question above,
we can get the number of fringes by dividing (delta t) by the period of the light (Which is λ/c). 

fringe = (delta t) / (λ/c) 

We can find (delta t) with the equation: 

delta t = [v^2(L1+L2)]/c^3 

Derivation of this formula can be found in your physics text book. From here we find (delta t): 

600,000^2 x (11+11) / [(3x10^8)^3] = 2.93x10^-13 

2.93x10^-13/ (589x10^-9 / 3x10^8) = 149 fringes 

This answer is correct but may seem large. That is because of your point of reference with the ether which is usually at rest with respect to the sun, making v = 3km/s.

Modern space suits augment the basic pressure garment with a complex system of equipment and environmental systems designed to keep the wearer comfortable, and to minimize the effort required to bend the limbs, resisting a soft pressure garment's natural tendency to stiffen against the vacuum. A self-contained oxygen supply and environmental control system is frequently employed to allow complete freedom of movement, independent of the spacecraft.
Three types of spacesuits exist for different purposes: IVA (intravehicular activity), EVA (extravehicular activity), and IEVA (intra/extravehicular activity). IVA suits are meant to be worn inside a pressurized spacecraft, and are therefore lighter and more comfortable. IEVA suits are meant for use inside and outside the spacecraft, such as the Gemini G4C suit. They include more protection from the harsh conditions of space, such as protection from micrometeorites and extreme temperature change. EVA suits, such as the EMU, are used outside spacecraft, for either planetary exploration or spacewalks. They must protect the wearer against all conditions of space, as well as provide mobility and functionality.
