If there are no heat losses, the heat released by the condensation of $x$ gm of steam at $100^o C$ into water at $100^o C$ can be used to convert $y$ gm of ice at $0^o C$ into water at $100^o C$. Then the ratio $y : x$ is nearly

  • A

    $1:1$

  • B

    $2.5 : 1$

  • C

    $2:1$

  • D

    $3:1$

A rod of length $20 \,\,cm$ is made of metal. It expands by $0.075\,\, cm$ when its temperature is raised from $0^o C$ to $100^o C$. Another rod of a different metal $B$ having the same length expands by $0.045 cm$ for the same change in temperature, a third rod of the same length is composed of two parts one of metal $A$ and the other of metal $B$.
