Q 11 :

On a temperature scale ‘X’, the boiling point of water is 65°X and the freezing point is –15°X. Assume that the X scale is linear. The equivalent temperature corresponding to –95°X on the Fahrenheit scale would be             [2023]

  • –63°F

     

  • –112°F

     

  • –48°F

     

  • –148°F

-95-(-15)65-(-15)=t-32180

-8080=t-32180

         t=-180+32

 t=-148°F



Q 12 :

A faulty thermometer reads 5°C in melting ice and 95°C in steam. The correct temperature on the absolute scale will be _____ K when the faulty thermometer reads 41°C.             [2023]
