A faulty thermometer has its fixed points marked 5 and 95. What is the correct temperature in centigrade when this temperature read 59 ?

Explanation

Here faulty reading x=59. Lower fixed point on faulty thermometer=5
Upper fixed point of faulty termometer=95
`therefore`Fundamental interval(FI)=95-5=90, correct reading C=?
`C/100=(x-L.F.P.)/(FI)or, C/100=(59-5)/(95-5)`
`C=60^@C`
