$A$ piece of ice (heat capacity $= 2100 \ J \ kg^{-1} \ ^{\circ}C^{-1}$ and latent heat $= 3.36 \times 10^5 \ J \ kg^{-1}$) of mass $m$ grams is at $-5^{\circ}C$ at atmospheric pressure. It is given $420 \ J$ of heat so that the ice starts melting. Finally,when the ice-water mixture is in equilibrium,it is found that $1 \ g$ of ice has melted. Assuming there is no other heat exchange in the process,the value of $m$ is:

  • A
    $7$
  • B
    $8$
  • C
    $9$
  • D
    $5$
