A thermometer graduated according to a linear scale reads a value \(x_0\) when in contact with boiling water, and \(x_0/3\) when in contact with ice. What is the temperature of an object in \({}^oC\), if this thermometer in the contact with the object reads \(x_0/2\) ?

  1. A \(25\)
  2. B \(60\)
  3. C \(40\)
  4. D \(35\)
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(A) \(25\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

\(t = \frac{{{x_t} - {x_0}}}{{{x_{100}} - {x_0}}}{100^ \circ }C\) \(\frac{{\frac{{{x_0}}}{2} - \frac{{{x_0}}}{3}}}{{x - \frac{{{x_0}}}{3}}}{100^ \circ }C\) \( = {25^ \circ }C\)
