Latent heat of fusion and latent heat of vaporization

A given mass m of a solid is supplied with heat continuously at a constant rate and the graph shown in the adjacent figure is plotted. If L_f and L_v are latent heats of fusion and latent heats of vapourisation and S_l and S_s are specific heats of liquid and solid respectively. It can be concluded that
