A small quantity mass m, of water at a temperature `theta ("in " ^(@)C)` is poured on to a larger mass M of ice which is at its melting point. If c is the specific heat capacity of water and L the specific heat capacity of water and L the specific latent heat of fusion of ice, then the mass of ice melted is give by

Options

A. `(ML)/(mc theta)`
B. `(mc theta)/(ML)`
C. `(M c theta)/(L)`
D. `(mc theta)/(L)`

Answer

D

Explanation

`mc theta = mL rArr m_(i) = (mc theta)/(L)`
