The top of a lake gets frozen at a place where the surrounding air is at a temperature of $-20\,^oC$. Then

  • A
    The temperature of the layer of water in contact with the lower surface of the ice block will be at $0\,^oC$ and that at the bottom of the lake will be $4\,^oC$
  • B
    The temperature of water below the lower surface of ice will be $4\,^oC$ right up to the bottom of the lake
  • C
    The temperature of the water below the lower surface of ice will be $0\,^oC$ right up to the bottom of the lake
  • D
    The temperature of the layer of water immediately in contact with the lower surface of ice will be about $-20\,^oC$ and that of water at the bottom will be $0\,^oC$

$250\,g$ of water and an equal volume of alcohol of mass $200\,g$ are placed successively in the same calorimeter and cool from $60^{\circ}C$ to $55^{\circ}C$ in $130\,s$ and $67\,s$ respectively. If the water equivalent of the calorimeter is $10\,g$,then the specific heat of alcohol in $\text{cal/g}^{\circ}C$ is:
