A faulty thermometer reads freezing point and boiling point of water as `-5 ^(@)C` abd `95^(@)C` respectively . What is the correct value of temperature as it reads `60^(@)C` on faulty thermometer?A. `60^(@)C`B. `65^(@)C`C. `64^(@)C`D. `62^(@)C`

Answer» Correct Answer - B
`(X-LFP)/(UPF-LFP)` = constant ( for all temperature scales ) where
`LFP rarr` lower fixed point
`UFP rarr` Upper fixed point
`(X-(-5))/(95-(-5)) = (C-0)/(100-0) implies (60+5)/(95+5) = (C)/(100) implies C= 65^(@)C`
