Solution

The correct option is B False
Latent heat of fusion is the amount of heat required to convert a substance from its solid state to liquid state at constant temperature under atmospheric pressure. The latent heat of vaporisation is the amount of heat required to convert a substance from its liquid state to gaseous state at constant temperature under atmospheric pressure. Since both involve transformations of different physical states, their values will be different.
