$A$ 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]

  • A
    $260$
  • B
    $250$
  • C
    $270$
  • D
    $280$
