The correct answer is:
$3600$
Ice $\left(0^{\circ} \mathrm{C}\right)$ converts into steam $\left(100^{\circ} \mathrm{C}\right)$ in following three steps.

Total heat required $Q=Q_1+Q_2+Q_3$
$=5 \times 80+5 \times 1 \times(100-0)+5 \times 540=3600 \mathrm{cal}$

Total heat required $Q=Q_1+Q_2+Q_3$
$=5 \times 80+5 \times 1 \times(100-0)+5 \times 540=3600 \mathrm{cal}$
