Solution

(a) AB represents the rise in temperature of solid from $0^{o} C$ to $t_{1}^{o} C$ .

BC represents the melting at temperature $t_{1}^{o} C$ .

CD represents the rise in temperature of liquid from $t_{1}^{o} C$ to $t_{3}^{o} C$ .

DE represents boiling at temperature $t_{3}^{o} C$ .

(b) The melting point of the substance is $t_{1}^{o} C$ .

(c) The boiling point of the substance is $t_{3}^{o} C$ .
