Solution

The correct option is A 1.7 kg
Heat will be added to both water and container, since water equivalent of container is given, therefore it can directly be added in mass of water for heat added. Therefore,
m=1.5+0.5=2kg
Now,
msθ=mL+msθ
2×1×60=m×540+m×1×20
120=m(560)
msteam=120560=314=.214kg
mtotal=mwater+msteam=1.5+0.21=1.71 kg1.7 kg
