WBJEE · Physics · Thermal Properties of Matter
Two temperature scales \(\mathrm{A}\) and \(\mathrm{B}\) are related by \(\frac{\mathrm{A}-42}{110}=\frac{\mathrm{B}-72}{220}\). At which temperature two scales have the same reading ?
- A \(-42^0\)
- B \(-72^0\)
- C \(+12^0\)
- D \(-40^{\circ}\)
Answer & Solution
Correct Answer
(C) \(+12^0\)
Step-by-step Solution
Detailed explanation
Hints: \(\frac{\mathrm{A}-42}{110}=\frac{\mathrm{B}-72}{220}, \mathrm{~A}=\mathrm{B}\) \(\frac{A-42}{110}=\frac{A-72}{220}\) \(\begin{aligned} & 2 \mathrm{A}-84=\mathrm{A}-72 \\ & \mathrm{~A}=12 \end{aligned}\)
