Answer:

Correct Answer: 41. (c)

Solution:

  1. (c) Heat required by ice at $0^{\circ} C$ to reach a temperature of $100^{\circ} C=m L+m c \Delta \theta$

$=1 \times 80+1 \times 1 \times(100-0)=180 cal$

Heat available with $1 g$ steam to condense into $1 g$ of water at $100^{\circ} C=536 cal$.

Obviously the whole steam will not be condensed and ice will attain a temperature of $100^{\circ} C$; so the temperature of mixture $=100^{\circ} C$.
