The correct answer is:
D

m(g) steam at 100° → m(g) water at 100°C + 540m ......

m(g) water at 100°C → m(g) water at 80°C + (m) (20) ......

+

m(g) steam at 100°C → m(g) water at 80° + 560m (cal) ......

20 g water at 10°C + (20) 70 → 20 g water at 80°C ......

from and

mix + 1400 cal → (20 + m) g water at 80°C + 560m (cal)

1400 = 560m

2.5 = m

Total mass of water present

= (20 + 2.5)g

= 22.5g
