Solution
The water in Ramesh's beaker will heat up faster because he placed the beaker on the outermost part of the flame, which is the hottest part of the flame.
Abida placed it near the yellow part of the flame, which is less hot than the blue flame. Therefore, the water in Ramesh's beaker will heat up faster than the water in Abida's beaker.
