The level of remains unchanged because when we place the ice cube, according to Archimedes principle, the weight of the ice displaces some amount of water.so when the ice melts that gap is covered by the water.

Decreases! As the stone is embedded in the ice piece of ice, the effective density of the ice-stone system is more than that of ice alone. As a result more part of the ice gets inside water (if ice alone, only about 92% shall be inside water since its density is less than that of water).As the ice melts it needs less space inside water and the gap will be filled by flowing in some water from top. As a result the water level decreases!
