mice =120g=0.12kg,Tice =0oCmwater =300g=0.3kg,Tw=25Ccw=4200J/kg/K,Lice =3.5×105J/kg
Heat lost by water Hl=mwater ×cw×ΔT=0.3×4200×(250);HI=31500J
Heat gained by xg ice, H2=x×L1000=x1000×3.5×105=350x

By calorimetry law total heat lost by the body is equal to Total heat gained by body,

 31500 = 350x 

 x = 90
