Correct answer: D

  1. Given data
  • Mass of ice: m=600 g=0.6 kgm = 600\text{ g} = 0.6\text{ kg}m=600 g=0.6 kg
  • Initial temperature of ice: −12∘C-12^\circ\text{C}−12∘C
  • Heat supplied: Q=184 kJQ = 184\text{ kJ}Q=184 kJ
  • Specific heat of ice: ci=2222.3 J kg−1 ∘C−1c_i = 2222.3\,\text{J kg}^{-1}\,^\circ\text{C}^{-1}ci​=2222.3J kg−1∘C−1
  • Latent heat of fusion of ice: L=336 kJ/kgL = 336\text{ kJ/kg}L=336 kJ/kg

We must determine the final state.


  1. Heat required to raise ice from −12∘C-12^\circ\text{C}−12∘C to 0∘C0^\circ\text{C}0∘C

Q1=mciΔTQ_1 = mc_i\Delta TQ1​=mci​ΔT

Q1=(0.6)(2222.3)(12) JQ_1 = (0.6)(2222.3)(12)\,\text{J}Q1​=(0.6)(2222.3)(12)J

Q1=15999≈16000 J=16 kJQ_1 = 15999\approx 16000\,\text{J} = 16\text{ kJ}Q1​=15999≈16000J=16 kJ

So, 16 kJ16\text{ kJ}16 kJ is needed to bring the ice to 0∘C0^\circ\text{C}0∘C.


  1. Remaining heat for melting

Total heat given is 184 kJ184\text{ kJ}184 kJ, so remaining heat after bringing ice to 0∘C0^\circ\text{C}0∘C is

Qrem=184−16=168 kJQ_{\text{rem}} = 184 - 16 = 168\text{ kJ}Qrem​=184−16=168 kJ


  1. Heat required to melt all the ice

Qmelt, all=mL=(0.6)(336) kJQ_{\text{melt, all}} = mL = (0.6)(336)\text{ kJ}Qmelt, all​=mL=(0.6)(336) kJ

Qmelt, all=201.6 kJQ_{\text{melt, all}} = 201.6\text{ kJ}Qmelt, all​=201.6 kJ

But only 168 kJ168\text{ kJ}168 kJ is available for melting, which is less than 201.6 kJ201.6\text{ kJ}201.6 kJ.

Therefore, all the ice will not melt.

Hence the final temperature remains:

0∘C0^\circ\text{C}0∘C

So statement A is true and statement B is false.


  1. Amount of ice melted

mmelted=QremL=168336=0.5 kgm_{\text{melted}} = \frac{Q_{\text{rem}}}{L} = \frac{168}{336} = 0.5\text{ kg}mmelted​=LQrem​​=336168​=0.5 kg

So, water formed = 0.5 kg0.5\text{ kg}0.5 kg.

Initial ice mass = 0.6 kg0.6\text{ kg}0.6 kg, so ice left =

0.6−0.5=0.1 kg0.6 - 0.5 = 0.1\text{ kg}0.6−0.5=0.1 kg

Thus final mixture is:

  • Ice = 0.1 kg0.1\text{ kg}0.1 kg
  • Water = 0.5 kg0.5\text{ kg}0.5 kg

Ratio of ice : water =

0.1:0.5=1:50.1:0.5 = 1:50.1:0.5=1:5

So statement D is true and statement C is false.

Also, statement E is false because some ice remains.


  1. Checking given options
  • A: A and E only →\to→ false
  • B: B and D only →\to→ false
  • C: A and C only →\to→ false
  • D: A and D only →\to→ true

  1. Final answer

The correct option is:

D: A and D only\boxed{\text{D: A and D only}}D: A and D only​
