Question

A calorimeter of mass m contains an equal mass of water in it. The temperature of the water and calorimeter is

t_{2} > 0^{\circ} C

. A block of ice of mass m and temperature

t_{3} < 0^{\circ} C

is gently dropped into the calorimeter. Let

C_{1}, C_{2}

and

C_{3}

be the specific heats of material of calorimeter, water and ice respectively and L be the Latent heat of ice. The whole mixture in the calorimeter becomes water, if

Correct option is B- -C-1-t-2-C-2-t-2-L-C-3-t-3-

Correct option is B. $$C_{1}t_{2}+C_{2}t_{2}+L+C_{3}t_{3}<0$$
