    Figure shows a thick shell made of electrical conductivity $\sigma$ and has inner & outer radii of $10\  cm$ & $20\  cm$ respectively and is filled with ice inside it. Its inside and outside surface are kept at different potentials by a battery of internal resistance $\frac{2}{\pi} \Omega \ \&\  \epsilon = 5V$. Find value of $\sigma$ for which ice melts at maximum possible rate if $25\%$ of heat generated by shell due to joule heating is used to melt ice.

    This question contains statement$-1$ and statement$-2$. Of the four choices given after the statements, choose the one that best describes the two statements.

    statement$-1$ : The temperature dependence of resistance is usually given as $R=R_{0}(1+\alpha \Delta t)$. The resistance of a wire changes from $100\; \Omega$ to $150\; \Omega$ when its temperature is increased from $27^{\circ} C$ to $227^{\circ} C$. This implies that $\alpha=2.5$ $\times 10^{-3} /{ }^{\circ} C$

    statement$-2\;: R=R_{0}(1+\alpha \Delta t)$ is valid only when the change in the temperature $\Delta T$ is small and $\Delta R=\left(R-R_{0}\right) < < R_{0}$
