A faulty thermometer reads \(5^{\circ} C\) in melting ice and \(95^{\circ} C\) in steam. The correct temperature on absolute scale will be. \(.........K\) when the faulty thermometer reads \(41^{\circ} C\).

  1. A \(312\)
  2. B \(311\)
  3. C \(313\)
  4. D \(310\)
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(C) \(313\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

\(\frac{41^{\circ}-5^{\circ}}{95^{\circ}-5^{\circ}}=\frac{ C -0^{\circ}}{100^{\circ}-0^{\circ}}\) \(\Rightarrow C =\frac{36}{90} \times 100=40^{\circ} C =313\,K\)
