When a thermometer is taken from the melting ice to warm liquid , the mercury level rises to `(2^(th))/(5)` of the distance between the lower and the upper fixed points . The temperature of liquid in K is

A

`217.15`

B

`313.15`

C

`220`

D

330

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
B
Here, temperature of liquid `= 2/5` of distance between lower and upper fixed points ` = 2/5 xx 100 = 40^(@)C`
On kelvin scale, `T_(K) = 273.15 + 40 = 313.15 K`
