An experiment takes $10\, minutes$ to raise the temperature of water in a container from $0\,^oC$ to $100\,^oC$ and another $55\, minutes$ to convert it totally into steam by a heater supplying heat at a uniform rate. Neglecting the specific heat of the container and taking the specific heat of water to be $1\, cal/g\,^oC$,the heat of vaporization according to this experiment will be ........ $cal/g$.

  • A
    $560$
  • B
    $550$
  • C
    $540$
