Solution
The correct option is B Both Assertion and Reason are correct but Reason is not the correct explanation for Assertion
Both assertion and reason are correct
Latent heat of fusion of ice is 336000J/Kg.
Latent heat is the heat required or released when substance under goes the phase change from solid to liquid or liquid to solid respectively.
1Kg Ice needs 336000J heat to melt into 1Kg of water and 1Kg water releases 336000J of heat to freeze into 1Kg of ice.
