$A$ calorimeter contains $10 \ g$ of water at $20^{\circ}C$. The temperature falls to $15^{\circ}C$ in $10 \ min$. When the calorimeter contains $20 \ g$ of water at $20^{\circ}C$,it takes $15 \ min$ for the temperature to become $15^{\circ}C$. The water equivalent of the calorimeter is: (in $g$)

  • A
    $50$
  • B
