Organic Chemistry Question

How do I solve this question?

The boiling points of 3 liquids, A, B and C are shown below:

A 65

B 141

C 80

Liquid A reacts with B to form liquid C and water. Distillation of the reaction mixture produces four pure liquids, which are collected as they form in separate beakers. Which beaker would contain water?

Beaker 1, Beaker 2, Beaker 3, or Beaker 4.

The boiling point of water is 100 degrees Celsius. Does that help you?
