Before melting,  weight of combined mass is equal to  weight of the liquid displaced. m1+m2g=Viρwg.

where Vi=volume of ice and stone system inside the water.

Vi=m1+m2ρw Vi=m1ρw+m2ρw.............(1)

After the ice is melted m1 converts into water and m2 remains same. and completely submerged in water. 

Volume  of water formed by m1(mass of ice)         V1=m1ρw

Volume of stone is equal to volume ofwaater displced         Vst=m2ρs

Total volume after the ice melts            V=m1ρw+m2ρst...........(2)

 

since ρst>ρwV<Vi  

equation (1) and (2)level of water decreases.
