A centigrade and Fahrenheit thermometer are dipped in boiling water. The water temperature is lowered until the Fahrenheit temperature observed is \(140^{\circ} \mathrm{F}\). At that time the temperature registered by the centigrade thermometer is

  1. A \(80^{\circ} \mathrm{C}\)
  2. B \(60^{\circ} \mathrm{C}\)
  3. C \(40^{\circ} \mathrm{C}\)
  4. D \(20^{\circ} \mathrm{C}\)
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(B) \(60^{\circ} \mathrm{C}\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

\(C = \frac{5}{9}(F - 32)\) \(C = \frac{5}{9}(140 - 32)\)
