$A$ sphere of ice at $0^{\circ}C$ having initial radius $R$ is placed in an environment having ambient temperature $> 0^{\circ}C$. The ice melts uniformly,such that the shape remains spherical. After a time $t$,the radius of the sphere has reduced to $r$. Assuming the rate of heat absorption is proportional to the surface area of the sphere at any moment,which graph best depicts $r(t)$?

$A$ liquid at $30^{\circ} C$ is poured very slowly into a calorimeter at $110^{\circ} C$. The boiling point of the liquid is $80^{\circ} C$. It is observed that the first $5 \ gm$ of the liquid evaporates completely. After adding another $80 \ gm$ of the liquid,the equilibrium temperature is found to be $50^{\circ} C$. What is the ratio of the latent heat of the liquid to its specific heat? [Neglect heat exchange with the surroundings]

Water falls from a height of $500\,m$. The rise in temperature of the water at the bottom,assuming all energy remains in the water,will be ........ $^oC$ [Specific heat of water = $4.2\,kJ/kg\cdot K$]

$M \ kg$ of water at $t^{\circ} C$ is divided into two parts so that one part of mass $m \ kg$ when converted into ice at $0^{\circ} C$ would release enough heat to vaporize the other part. Then $\frac{m}{M}$ is equal to (Specific heat of water $= 1 \ cal \ g^{-1} {}^{\circ} C^{-1}$,Latent heat of fusion of ice $= 80 \ cal \ g^{-1}$,Latent heat of steam $= 540 \ cal \ g^{-1}$)
