Two rigid boxes containing different ideal gases are placed on a table. Box A contains one mole of nitrogen at temperature $T_0$, while Box contains one mole of helium at temperature $(7/3)$ $T_0$ The boxes are then put into thermal contact with each other, and heat flows between them until the gases reach a common final temperature (ignore the heat capacity of boxes). Then, the final temperature of the gases,$T_f$  in terms of $T_0$ is
