A $2\,kg$ copper block is heated to $500^o\,C$ and then it is placed on a large block of ice  at $0^o\,C$. If the specific heat capacity of copper is $400\, J/kg/ ^o\,C$ and latent heat of  fusion of water is $3.5 \times 10^5\, J/kg$, the amount of ice, that can melt is :-

  • A

    $(7/8)\, kg$

  • B

    $(7/5)\, kg$

  • C

    $(8/7)\, kg$

  • D

    $(5/7)\, kg$
