To explain: - The floor is colder than the rest of the room.
Explanation of Solution
Introduction:
Heat transfer through the object from hot to cooler one. Therefore, whenever a piece of ice is grabbed by a hand, the hand gets cold which occurs due to the transfer of heat from warm hand to colder ice.
The hard tile of the floor is a good conductor of heat which draws heat from the skin very quickly. As a result, tile feels colder, while the rest of the floor (rug) is not good conductor of heat. Therefore, when skin comes in contact with rest of the floor, it warms up quickly without extracting much heat.
Conclusion:
Thus, the hard tile of bathroom always feels cold for feet and the rest of room is warm
