Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(B) \(10^{\circ} \mathrm{C}\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

Let the final temperature of mixture be \(T\).
Heat absorbed by ice \(=\) heat lost by water
\(\therefore m L+m c(T-0)=m c(100-T)\)
Substituting values,
\(\therefore (100 \times 80)+(100 \times 1) T=100 \times 1(100-T) \)
\( 8000+100 T=10000-100 T \)
\( 200 T=2000 \)
\( T=10^{\circ} \mathrm{C} \)
