Statement $(I)$: $A$ device in which heat measurement can be made is called a calorimeter.
Statement $(II)$: Skating is possible on snow due to the formation of water below the skates. Water is formed due to the increase of temperature and ice melts.
Statement $(III)$: Two bodies at different temperatures are mixed in a calorimeter. The total internal energy of the two bodies remains conserved.
Which of the following is correct?

$A$ refrigerator converts $500\,g$ of water at $25\,^{\circ}C$ into ice at $-10\,^{\circ}C$ in $3\,hours\,40\,minutes$. The quantity of heat removed per minute is ........ $cal/\min$.
(Specific heat of water $= 1\,cal/g\,^{\circ}C$,Specific heat of ice $= 0.5\,cal/g\,^{\circ}C$,Latent heat of fusion $= 80\,cal/g$)

$A$ stationary object at $4^{\circ} C$ and weighing $3.5 \ kg$ falls from a height of $2000 \ m$ on a snow mountain at $0^{\circ} C$. If the temperature of the object just before hitting the snow is $0^{\circ} C$ and the object comes to rest immediately,then the quantity of ice that melts is (Acceleration due to gravity $= 10 \ m/s^2$,Latent heat of ice $= 3.5 \times 10^5 \ J/kg$)
