The coefficient of performance of a refrigerator is $5$. If the temperature inside the freezer is $-20^{\circ}C$,the temperature of the surroundings to which it rejects heat is ........ $^{\circ}C$.

$A$ Carnot freezer takes heat from water at $0\,^{\circ}C$ inside it and rejects it to the room at a temperature of $27\,^{\circ}C$. The latent heat of ice is $336 \times 10^3\, J\,kg^{-1}$. If $5\, kg$ of water at $0\,^{\circ}C$ is converted into ice at $0\,^{\circ}C$ by the freezer,then the energy consumed by the freezer is close to
