$A$ conducting rod of length $1 \,m$ has an area of cross-section $10^{-3} \,m^2$. One end is immersed in boiling water $(100^{\circ} C)$ and the other end in ice $(0^{\circ} C)$. If the coefficient of thermal conductivity of the rod is $96 \,cal/(s \cdot m \cdot ^{\circ}C)$ and the latent heat of fusion for ice is $8 \times 10^4 \,cal/kg$,then the amount of ice that will melt in one minute is:

  • A
    $5.4 \times 10^{-3} \,kg$
  • B
    $7.2 \times 10^{-3} \,kg$
  • C
    $1.8 \times 10^{-3} \,kg$
  • D
    $3.6 \times 10^{-3} \,kg$
