ANSWER:-
It is difficult to hold a 'stainless steel tumbler' containing hot tea in hand because stainless steel is a good conductor of heat but a thermocol cup containing the 'same hot tea' can be easily held because thermocol is a 'poor conductor' of heat.
EXPLANATION:
Stainless steel being the good conductor of heat make the heat reach the hand holding the tumbler with hot tea at a faster rate meanwhile thermocol is an insulator and has low thermal conductivity in it and thus hotness of the tea is being stopped by thermocol reaching the hand.
