Answer

$Q_D\lt Q_C\lt Q_B\lt Q_A$

Work Step by Step

We know that $Q_{fusion}=\frac{Q_{removed}}{m}$ Now we find the heat of fusion for all four given liquids as follows: $Q_A=\frac{33500}{0.1}=335KJ/Kg$ $Q_B=\frac{166000}{0.5}=332KJ/Kg$ $Q_C=\frac{31500}{0.250}=126KJ/Kg$ $Q_D=\frac{5400}{0.05}=108KJ/Kg$ We can arrange in increasing order of latent heat of fusion as follows: $Q_D\lt Q_C\lt Q_B\lt Q_A$
