On a new temperature scale, the melting point of ice is 20 \({ }^{\circ} \mathrm{X}\) and the boiling point of water is \(110^{\circ} \mathrm{X}\). A temperature of \(40^{\circ} \mathrm{C}\) would be indicated on this new temperature scale as

  1. A \(60 ^\circ X\)
  2. B \(56 ^\circ X\)
  3. C \(70 ^\circ X\)
  4. D \(54 ^\circ X\)
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(B) \(56 ^\circ X\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

\begin{aligned} & \frac{\text { Reading on new scale -LFP }}{\text { UFP - LFP }}=\frac{\mathrm{C}-0}{100} \\ & \frac{\mathrm{z}^{\circ} \mathrm{X}-20^{\circ} \mathrm{X}}{110^{\circ} \mathrm{X}-20^{\circ} \mathrm{X}}=\frac{40-0}{100} \Rightarrow \mathrm{z}^{\circ}…
