Solution

The correct option is B 24.83 gm
Let the mass of steam condensed be m.
The heat released by steam is sum of heat released while condensing form stem to ice and heat released while temperature is dropped from 100oC to 90oC.
So Q1=m×L+m×(10090)×1=540m+10m=550m
Heat absorbed by 22g of water to increase its temperature from 20oC to 90oC is Q2=22×(9020)×1=1540cal
Equating the two heats, m=1540/550=2.8g
So total mass is 22+2.8=24.8g
