Solution

The temperature will be recorded lowest in the case having 100 g of ice and 20 g of common salt. When we add salt, the freezing temperature of ice lowers due to the depression in freezing point of the water. Higher the concentration of salt, higher will be the depression in freezing point and lower will be the temperature.
