A thermometer has wrong calibration (of course at equal distances and the capillary is of uniform diameter). It reads the melting pont of ice as `-10^(@)C`. It reads `60^(@)C` in place of `50^(@)`. The temperature of boiling point of water on this scale is

`100^(@)C`

`130^(@)C`

`110^(@)C`

`120^(@)C`
