At what temperature the Fahrenheit and kelvin scales of temperature give the same reading ?

A

`theta = -40`

B

`theta = 40`

C

`theta = 574.25`

D

`512.45`

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
C
`(T_(F)-32)/(180) = (T_(K)-273)/(100)`
`(theta-32)/(180) = (theta-273)/(100) rArr 5 theta-32 xx 5 = 9 theta - 273 xx 9`
`= theta = 574.25`.
