A small quantity, mass $m$ , of water at a temperature $\theta $ (in $^oC$ ) is poured on to a large mass $M$ of ice which is at its melting point. If $c$ is the specific heat of water and $L$ the latent heat of fusion of ice, then the mass of ice melted is given by

  • A

    $\frac{{ML}}{{mc\theta }}$

  • B

    $\frac{{mc\theta }}{{ML}}$

  • C

    $\frac{{Mc\theta }}{{L}}$

  • D

    $\frac{{mc\theta }}{{L}}$
